That's the format for /etc/crontab - not user crontabs. Normal users
(including root) don't have to and in fact are prohibited from specifying
a user to run their jobs under. Try this...
'*/15 * * * * /usr/libexec/rs2 >> /var/log/rs.log'

P.S. Yes, there's a small difference between /etc/crontab and
/var/cron/tabs/root - it's important to understand that.
