Hi Mike,
I think that your problem could be that you need to put the complete
path of the executables in the script. For instance, when you call a
simple command like cp or anything else, you need to specify the path to
cp by calling /bin/cp
Also you could try to set the PATH at the start of the script. I have
noticed that cron does not use the path of the user.
