You shouldn't be editing anything in /usr/share/koha/lib/C4.
I am assuming you mean something closer to:
KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/sites/mvs/koha-conf.xml
PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib

Good to know.

Okay, so we know your problem.

I am going to assume that your $KOHA_CRON_PATH is set correctly (something 
like /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs).

Okay, you said you used packages. This makes sense, because of your 
KOHA_CONF setting. In fact, your koha-create command must have created an 
instance called 'mvs'. We also know that the script you are trying to run 
is: /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/process_message_queue.pl

I seriously doubt you have a user __KOHA_USER__. Though, I suppose that 
could just be a typo missing a $ in front of it.

$ grep koha /etc/passwd
library-koha:x:1004:1004:Koha instance 
library-koha,,,:/var/lib/koha/library:/bin/bash

When you run koha-create, you should get an entry in the form of <instance 
name>-koha added to /etc/passwd.

So, I would expect something more like:
# SEND EMAILS
15   * * * *  mvs-koha  $KOHA_CRON_PATH/process_message_queue.pl

Though, I would need you to tell me which file you are looking at, so that I 
can be sure.

And lastly, you also should check out what Mirko said.
