I use this header at the top of the crontab file to help avoid such errors and make it easier to read

Code:
#Minute (0-59),
#|      Hour (0-23),
#|      |       Day of the month (1-31),
#|      |       |       Month of the year (1-12),
#|      |       |       |       Day of the week (0-6 with 0=Sunday).
#|      |       |       |       |       Commands
#|      |       |       |       |       |

So your crontab will look something like this:
Code:
# sudo crontab -l
#ident  "@(#)root       1.21    04/03/23 SMI"
#
# The root crontab should be used to perform accounting data collection.
#
#
#Minute (0-59),
#|      Hour (0-23),
#|      |       Day of the month (1-31),
#|      |       |       Month of the year (1-12),
#|      |       |       |       Day of the week (0-6 with 0=Sunday).
#|      |       |       |       |       Commands
#|      |       |       |       |       |
