Based on the error message: error: " /bin/sh: /usr/bin/GET: Permission denied ".

Crontab interprete GET as a unix command and run a which on GET. However, GET does not exist, I believe on any setted PATH or /usr/bin.

Solution: If GET is executable script.. Hard coded the path to GET in your crontab.
