Value 127 is returned by /bin/sh when the given command is is not found
from PATH and it is not a builtin shell command. My guess is, that your
cron job is missing /sbin from its PATH:
<CLIP>
pehesaari-11:~$ /sbin/fsck
fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
No devices specified to be checked!
pehesaari-11:~$ echo $?
8
