Need advice regarding cron---unable to start cron

[Ravindra Divi]

Hi, 
 I installed cygwin on windows server 2003 and am trying to learn about cron. 
 I created a simple script as follows: 
 #!/usr/bin/bash 
 #move the file every 1 min 
 echo 'date'>>  datelog.txt 
 mv datelog.txt outbound 
 
 I then created a crontab using the command crontab -e as follows: 
 
 # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. 
 # (/tmp/crontab.3k4GtqrIIX installed on Sat Jun  5 14:51:33 2010) # (Cron 
 version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie Exp $) 
 */1 * * * * /home/administrator/scripts/mvscript 

 but nothing is happening. I was able to successfully run the script 
 manually. But when trying to accomplish it through cron, nothing happens. I checked the services in start -->administrative tools-->services and I see cron Daemon running. I dont see anything in logs either.Please advise.

Thanks,
clark
