Problem with cron..

[Buff3r]

-bash-4.1$ crontab -e
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
crontab: no changes made to crontab

crontabs wont kick on because of this error using centos 6.2

Nope that dont help either.. when i do clean install of os and da.. i get this error when i do crontab -e..

-bash-4.1$ crontab -e
no crontab for chatex - using an empty one
crontab: installing new crontab

i put cron in there that i need (works on another vps) and i wait for it to kick in for time i set and doesnt do anything.
