You should output STDERR to some error logfile or set MAILTO in your
crontab.
I guess you then would have seen an error message saying that pg_dump
was not found because cron doesn't load the users environment and
therefore PATH variable isn't set.
I suggest you call pg_dump in your script by absolute path.
