That's normal if you use "crontab -l" when you don't yet have any cron
jobs.
Do you also get it when you try to edit the crontab with "crontab -e"?
What if you just create a file of your cron jobs and use "crontab filename"
to submit it.

No special permissions are normally needed for this. The "crontab" command
is supposed to be setuid so that it can edit the crontab file.
