When you load the .profile can be handy top point to the users homne directory by using ~<username>/.profile

in this case u are sure the right profile is loaded

when a script is NOT working in the cron BUT it does by hand, the problem is mostly a envirnment problem.

so use instead

. /user/.profile # sorce the users profile

~x/.profile Where X is the username

NAME

       update-profile-cache - (re)generate profile assignment cache

SYNOPSIS

       update-profile-cache

DESCRIPTION

       Running	this  script  (re)generates the cache of profile assignments used by desktop-profiles. By default this script is run automatically
       once a day by a cron script.

       NOTE:  No cache of assignments will be generated in cases where cache use isn't supported by desktop-profiles (at the moment  caching  pro-
	      file  assingments  is  only  supported in the simple case when no group or command requirements are used for activation of profiles,
	      i.e. when we have a static machine-wide profile assignment).

FILES

       /etc/desktop-profiles/*.listing - Files containing the metadata about installed profiles

       /etc/default/desktop-profiles - File containing default settings for this script
