When you use a user crontab (crontab -e), you don't include the user field.
The user's own id is implied. I always put a (comment) header line in the
user crontab so that it's clear what the fields are.

So, your example:
> */15    *       *       *       *   root  /usr/libexec/rs2 >> /var/log/rs.log

becomes:
#minute hour    mday    month   wday    command
*/15    *       *       *       *       /usr/libexec/rs2 >> /var/log/rs.log
