You just got the fields mixed up: the third field is
the day of the 
month; the fifth field is the day of the week. So your
cron job is 
currently scheduled to run the first five days of
every month - and 
it's 
the tenth day of the month.

For more information: man 5 crontab (you have to
include the 5, because 
crontab(1) isn't quite so helpful).
