what do you get if you run " # ps aux | grep cron " ?
Mine gives [jeff@goliath ~]$ ps aux | grep cron
root 4266 0.0 0.1 4444 812 ? Ss 00:58 0:00 crond


That indicates crond is running as the service


Looks like it's running.

[root@mythtv ~]# ps aux | grep cron
root     20854  0.0  0.0  5116  696 ?        Ss   07:40   0:00 crond



You have removed the lines for your mythtv installation.
They can be put back if the files are in /root as the paths indicate.



I removed them in case they were somehow causing the problem. The paths
were correct, the files were in /root.


Yet they won't run when they're in there. Is there any way to see any
debug or realtime feedback from cron?

Have you checked /var/log/cron ? There should be a RELOAD event logged within 1 minute after any change to /etc/crontab .
