Problem

Previous firmware versions contained an error that resulted in wrong group ownerships for, e.g.,/var/spool/cron/crontab. This resulted in broken cron handling and failing clusters.

Info

The problem is fixed with Werk #9390 from the firmware version 1.4.9. This will not happen after a fresh installation. 

If you do a firmware update from < 1.4.9, you may run into this problem. If this happens, you need to change the group permissions of cron. From that point, it will never happen again.
