Note: the specification of days may be made by two fields
(day of the month and day of the week). If both are specified
as a list of elements, both are adhered to. For example:

   0 0 1,15 * 1 command

would run a command on the first and the fifteenth of each month,
as well as on every Monday.

Seems that, at least here, your suggestion doesn't work.
