Crontab

I'm trying to setup my crontab so I've SSH'd in and done the normal:

crontab crontab.txt

where crontab.txt is a text file containing the crontab items I want, however I get this error message:

crontabs/tmp.ZryQVO: Permission denied

Any ideas or should I contact tech support directly?

How was the crontab.txt prepared; any chance it ended up with "strange" characters due to windos or ftp?

Anything unusual about the file contents?

Do any other crontab command options work? Like:
crontab -l
crontab -r (which will remove current, if any)
crontab -e

If in doubt, put a question in the support queue; you can always cancel it if you find the answer while waiting.

Good luck,
