Both entries are identical on the two computers. They should be. As I said
on my original post, I copied the file from the pc, where it was working to
the laptop.

I assume rkhunter is running on the laptop as "rkhunter --check" works. 
If I'm wrong, please correct me.

I actually had to drop the cron jobs on my system, and call rkhunter from a
bash script, which is then run from cron. 

I don't know why, and since the solution is simple enough, I'm not bothering
to find out why it doesn't work.

Anyhow, take a look at /var/log/rkhunter.log, if you don't see the date at
the top corresponding with when you set it to run in cron, it's not running.
