[Labs-l] Crontab not working

After Lab's accidental erasure of all crontabs, I retrieved my old
crontab off of backup because ~/...DATA.crontab was 0 length.  I ran
crontab and it said it was converting it to the new system.

Nothing works.

Looks like it converted my crontab to submit the actual crons to the
queue.  The jobs are going to the queue, but dying.   Crap from the
crons are  filling up my home directory.

I manually ran a line from the crontab and it promptly died.
