This is your problem. You're missing a full path and crontab(1) requires it.
If so, why does this work:
EDITOR=nano crontab -e
On Fedora 18:
[mdeggers@trident ~]$ export EDITOR=nano [mdeggers@trident ~]$ printenv EDITOR nano [mdeggers@trident ~]$ crontab -e
invokes nano
[mdeggers@trident ~]$ which nano /usr/bin/nano
(Don't know how I got /bin/nano earlier - maybe I was on the wrong machine)
So, I have no idea why it doesn't work on your machine. It works here.
. . . . just my two cents. /mde/
