The crontab -e command is probably not working because you have not editor
set.
If you are using bash, do the following:
$ export EDITOR=vi #or emacs
$ crontab -e #this should now work
$ echo "export EDITOR=vi" >> ~/.bash_profile
OR if your .bashrc is being sourced
$ echo "export EDITOR=vi" >> ~/.bashrc
