cron usage

Greetings, since I already have the cron daemon running (verified via
ps), I tried setting up an example by creating the /etc/cron.d
directory and creating a test file:
* * * * * echo 'hello world' >> /tmp/test.txt
This does not appear to be picked up by cron. So looking at the help
output, I thought I should be using the '-c' parameter:
crond -c /etc/cron.d
Once again, this appears to fail. Any thoughts on why this isn't working?
Thanks,
Dave
