So is P or /home off limits when it comes to cron? Why did this work

Bingo!
You can always resort to running cron as you instead of 'SYSTEM'. As
long as you're the only user that needs to run under 'cron', that
should work without changing the permissions of your network shares.
I'd hate to have to resort to that!
This doesn't explain why it worked at my last company and why I could
have sworn it used to work here up until about a week ago.
