The commands you wrote are not correct. The last command gives me:
> pietrodn at nightshade:~$ cat crontab.txt | crontab -e
> no crontab for pietrodn - using an empty one
> Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal
> Vim: Error reading input, exiting...
> Vim: preserving files...

> crontab: "/usr/bin/vim" exited with status 1

The right commands are:
pietrodn at hemlock:~$ crontab -l > crontab.txt
pietrodn at nightshade:~$ crontab crontab.txt

(without -e)
This works for me.

Cheers
