There are a couple of ways how you can set up cronjobs.

If you add the cronjob to /etc/crontab, you need to specify the user as
which the cronjob should run. In your case you added "root", so that is
good. If you run "crontab -e" as root to edit the cronjobs, you can omit
specifying the user.

What you probably did wrong there is the location to your PHP
interpreter. On a BlueOnyx it's usually not /usr/local/bin/php.

It's either /usr/bin/php (for the onboard PHP) or
/home/solarspeed/php/bin/php if you have the Solarspeed / Compass PHP
package installed.
