Problem Setting Up Cron Job

I'm trying to set the following cron job up:

25 * * * * cd $HOME/joeanderson.co.uk/5blogs/wp-content ; php -q update-feeds.php

So I've uploaded this inside a file called cron.txt in the $HOME directory. In Shell the following happens:


[cheezit]$ crontab cron.txt
crontabs/tmp.2HQJdH: Permission denied

I'm new to Dreamhost, and I don't appreciate having to use Shell, nevermind experiencing problems in it.

Seems like an error in your account configuration. contact support and see if they can help fix the problem.

How long will that take, roughly?

10 minutes to go to the panel and punch in a problem description / support request.
< 24 hours for the request to bubble to top of the queue, and have a real person look at it.
15 minutes for them to do something about it and send you a response.

Good luck,
