Make sure that you're not running into the restricted $PATH that you get in a cron job - when the cron script is started, the only directories in your PATH variable = "/usr/bin:/bin" as a security provision (the service program is in /sbin). To be sure, either re-set your PATH to what you need at the beginning of the script or fully qualify all scripts/programs that you run out of a crontab.
