I've read through all the topics related to cron that I could find on these forums, but I'm still stuck

I know that the crontab is set up, as, using putty, I type "crontab -l" and I get this:
55 23 * * * /usr/bin/php -f /usr/www/users/mysite/phpdig/admin/spider.php /usr/www/users/mysite/cronlist.txt >> /usr/www/users/mysite/phpdig/admin/temp/spider.log

I've made sure cronlist.txt and phpdig/admin/temp is chmodded to 777. I've checked my path in config.php and it is: '/usr/www/users/mysite/phpdig'

I'd appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction in trying to figure this out - how do I start troubleshooting? Is there a log file I can set up to see if anything is happening?

I'm probably missing something quite straightforward...

Charles.
