Is crond running?
use ps to see if it is running.
If not you may have to ensure it is started at initialisation.
Do you have the cron daemon installed. As root type
which crond
whcih crontab
If not then the version of busybox installed may not have been built with
crond/crontab functionality enabled. Try
bb --help
to see a list of all the functionality enabled in your installed version
of bb. If "chrond" and "crontab" are in the list, then you may only need
to add a link to get crond and crontab enabled...
cd /
ln -s /bin/busybox /sbin/crond
ln -s /bin/busybox /sbin/crontab
Remember also, that the busybox crond/crontab may not be as featurefull as
the vixie or other cron implementations.
