I am creating it with "sudo crontab -e", which from my understanding
creates it as the root user's file.

Regarding specifying a user, I have tried both with "root" and without
because I am grasping at straws at this point.  I saw some crontab files
online where they were specifying "root" and I believe that is the way my
old frontend was working as well.

I see that you have not included a space after the redirection operator and
above the file did include a space.  With a space included it doesn't work,
I will try without.
