   Is it a BASH script? I've had that problem occasionally where commands work differently from inside a cron job.

     If you search for "script doesn't work in crontab" there are some good hits. Often the environment variables need explicitly set.

     I assume you know that you should use full paths to call any executable, but it's worth mentioning.

     Once I just rewrote a script to use 'find | xargs' rather than 'find -exec' and it worked. No idea why.
