cron files

I am in need of assistance.
I received some messages in my root mail that I need to fix.
 Your "cron" job
        /rootcron/GCCVer/blah_blah.blah
produced the following output:
        sh: /rootcron/GCCVer/blah_blah.blah: not found

easy enough, I replaced the correct file by pushing a small script to
several machines.

crontab -l | grep -v ....> /tmp/crontab.new
then
echo '0 0 * * * /rootcron/GCCVer.... > /tmp/crontab.new etc... I was able
to change the file easy enough.

but the problem is , is that it is not reading the new file. Not even after
a kill -HUP (PID) of the cron daemon.

I did a # ps -ef | grep -i cron and then a # kill -HUP (pid) thinking this
would do the trick. I am still getting the same errors in the root mail.

How can I get the system to read the corrected root file in
/var/spool/cron/crontabs ?
 
Thanks in advance

Rod
