This means, that you start your script at
01:30, 04:30, 07:30, etc. in the first case and at
00:00, 00:45, 03:00, 03:45, etc. in the second case.
I guess that is not your intention.

No!

The first field holds minutes on the clock and the second field hours. So the entry
Code:
0,30 0,3,6 * * *

means, that the job is run at every time on the clock which is a combination of 0 or 3 or 6 hours and 0 or 30 minutes, which is 00:00, 00:30, 03:00; 03:30, 06:00 and 06:30.
