Data One line of cron is not working - PLS Help

Hi all,
I have spent 2 hours going through the forum and have not found an answer to my question, I hope someone can help.

I have cron setup to run two commands, one at 1am and one at 3 am, the one at 1 am works but not the one at 3 am. The time is set as:

0 1 * * * /path/to/file
0 3 * * * /path/to/file

The second command I was told to call it with cron as http:// but I have tried it 4 different ways and it still does not work. It I pull it up in my browser it works just fine, but not from cron. It is something like the following, (all 4 ways I have tried it):

0 3 * * * http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/myscript/myscript.cgi?pssw=scriptpassword&action=command&emailaccounts=email1@mydomain.com,email2@mydomain.co m,email3@mydomain.com,email4@mydomain.com

0 3 * * * http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/myscript/myscript.cgi?pssw=scriptpassword&action=command&emailaccounts=email1%40mydomain.com,email2%40mydomai n.com,email3%40mydomain.com,email4%40mydomain.com

0 3 * * * /user/myaccount/web/cgi-bin/myscript/myscript.cgi?pssw=scriptpassword&action=command&emailaccounts=email1@mydomain.com,email2@mydomain.co m,email3@mydomain.com,email4@mydomain.com

0 3 * * * /user/myaccount/web/cgi-bin/myscript/myscript.cgi?pssw=scriptpassword&action=command&emailaccounts=email1%40mydomain.com,email2%40mydomai n.com,email3%40mydomain.com,email4%40mydomain.com

Like I said above I know cron works because I have another job on the first line that worked just fine. Any help here would be appricated.
