Similar Cron issue--Cron wont do anything


Hi I have been having similar problems with running cron on through cygwin. 

Here is what I have done so far:

1) created a simple shell file <create_new_dir.sh>

#!/bin/sh
echo "test"
mkdir "/home/landon/scripts/HIPPO"


2) ran shell in command prompt and it worked perfectly.


3) created a text file <new>:

*/1 * * * * sh create_dir_new.sh > /home/myusername/logfile

4) tried to run the cron but nothing happend

5) checked the /var/log/cron and here is what it said

unable to set groups for myusername


Any thoughts?

thanks
