- What is the error message, if any?

- Is it specific to this file? Have you tried with another one?

- What happens if you insert the "file:" prefix, i.e,
  [[file:~/cron/boudiccas.crontab]]?

- How do you "open" the file? Is it with C-c C-o, RET, or something
  else? What happens if you call directly `M-x org-open-at-point'?

Regards,
