cron help with cygwin

I'm having difficulty getting my cronjob to work...
I have a crontab called crontab.txt
It looks like this:

22 9 * * * cd /home/USER
23 9 * * * ./launch_HelloWorld_vbs.bat

In other words, every day, I want to run "launch_HelloWorld_vbs.bat" at
9:23am, which lives in the directory /home/USER.

Right now, I execute this cron job as follows:

crontab crontab.txt

I verified that there is a crontab file in /var/cron/tabs.

For some reason, I don't see the file running. Any ideas ?

This question has nothing to do with Linux. But:

That crontab file will *not* work. It'll run one cronjob that does the
'cd' command and a second, unrelated cronjob to run the file. You'd
want a *single* entry in your crontab:

22 9 * * * cd /home/USER && ./launch_HelloWorld_vbs.bat

At least that would work under Linux. I don't know what shell is used
for running cronjobs under Cygwin. If it's Bash, the same syntax applies.

For a definitive answer ask in a Cygwin newsgroup or mailing list, where
the question will be on-topic and where you'll find Cygwin experts.
