First, the correct place for this is probably in /etc/cron.d not in /etc/crontab. If you really want to keep it where it is now,
I'd suggest looking in /var/log/cron and making sure that it is executing at all. I'd look at `aureport -a`
 and see if anything is logged as an selinux denial around the time you expect this to execute
 and then use `ausearch -a nnn` where nnn is the number from the far right hand end of the aureport output line(s).
  Trying it in permissive mode by running `setenforce 0` would be a good test of this.
