Since you didn't redirect the output of either of the above commands, cron
will probably try (and fail) to find a working smtp service on your
machine to mail you the output.
Why not try with the "hello world" of crontabs instead:
?:5 * * * * /bin/date >> /tmp/cron-date.out 2>&1
and see if that works as expected (printing the date into
/tmp/cron-date.out every five minutes).
Also, as René suggested, check the error logs.
HTH,
Igor
