If MRTG runs fine yet you have an error mail every 5 minutes, chances
are you have two cron entries (one good, one bad).

This would happen if you have a line similar to:
        */5 * * * * root /usr/bin/mrtg mrtg.cfg
in the user's crontab (for user root probably).

This syntax is correct for the system wide crontab /etc/crontab
but not for the crontab file build using 'crontab -e'
