capture shell output in cron entry

Hey all,
I'm running scripts from cron and I want to capture the output from the 1 file handle. Ex. * * * * * /test.sh 1>test.log. I also want to append a formatted date to the file. * * * * /test.sh 1>test.log_date +%m%d%y but I keep keep getting the output as if I had just added the date command. What I want is test.log_041608 what I get is test.log_Wed Apr 16 14:00:00 EDT 2008. I've tried all sort of combinations but still no luck. I can get it to work when I run the command from a shell script manually. Is it an environment setting issue?? Does anyone else have this setup? Thanks.
