You are SURE you have the cron syntax correct and you are running the correct file? You DO have the full path of the command in the cron, right? (I don't mean to ask obvious questions, but just to make sure.) Strange......... Try adding "echo $PATH" (no quotes) as the second line, and let cron kick it off again. That should mail the output to root (or where ever your error messages are getting mailed to.) See if the PATH is the same as you get from "echo $PATH" from root's shell. What is the script doing?
