Was that a cut and paste or a retype? Use editrights to list the privileges of cron_x. Cron-diagnose was not designed for 2k3, so it's useless there. My advice is to run cron-config. When prompted say that want to reinstall the service. It will prompt you for a user to run under, just say cron_x I forgot if it will reset the privileges or keep them as they are.
