I think cronjobs have a very limited environment (Reduced $PATH and so on). So
the first point I would check ist that my application does not depend on any
environment variables (call all binaries with their full path, for example).
Then, make sure that the user you are running at has the necessary permissions
to do so (does'nt seem to be a problem with you). And another thing: The cron
processes have no controlling terminal, so that's something which may go awry.
