Glad it worked, but one point...

Definately not true. From /etc/crontab,

#minute hour    mday    month   wday    who     command
#
*/5     *       *       *       *       root    /usr/libexec/atrun

atrun has to be able to execute commands as root or any other invoking
user. Only a priviledged user can do that. As to why that fixed
it... shrug.
