Not sure why you included your crontab without the example of what you are
currently trying...

This syntax -does- work.

*/5 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/mrtg /usr/local/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg

If it doesn't, run it manually to make sure it's not an error in your cfg
file, and of course - verify that your cron daemon is running.
