The job does get run !
2009/09/15 14:00:01 [SYSTEM] /usr/sbin/cron: PID 1568: (Administrator) CMD (/usr/bin/echo "abc"
 > /tmp/d)

I assume you don't see /tmp/d
Is there a cron.log file in the Administrator HOME or some cron related files in /tmp?
They may contain error messages.

Note also that the -D switch is obsolete (although still supported in the Cygwin port).
usage:  /usr/sbin/cron [-n] [-x [ext,sch,proc,pars,load,misc,test,bit]]
