Hey Tena,
What user is this script running as when running under cron?
Might be time to break out strace and run it like this:
strace -fe trace=file /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_dumpall > $filename 2> strace.out
As you can see, I am afraid my point still holds.
Regards,
Tena Sakai

Here's your problem.
. .bashrc
You have an extremely minimal environment when running from cron, and you certainly *aren't* running from the home directory of the relevant user. You need to set up your PATH and HOME manually, and cd to your home directory before sourcing .bashrc for this to work.
. ~/.bashrc *might* work, but it's better to be specific (:
hth,
Steve
