I haven't been following, so PMFBI, but can I just point out that it may
well be necessary that the 2>&1 should precede the >> /tmp/debug.log if you
want stderr to actually end up in the log file....
BTW, "uname -a; pwd; set; export" might be a good diagnostic command to
add as a cron job.... isn't this almost certainly a
wrong-user-executing-the-job problem?
cheers,
