Cronjobs don't get run

Hello,
I have a cronjob like this:
*/15 * * * * getmail --quiet --rcfile=whatever
It works fine when run directly from the command line but does not run at
all as a cronjob.
A timed cronjob like this:
7 7 * * * whatever_command
works fine on the other hand.
I had a look at crontab(5) which states: "Steps are also permitted after an
asterisk so if you want to say ‘‘every two hours’’, just use ‘‘*/2’’." So
this should work, but isn't.
What now?
Cheers
Felix
