I recommend not using convoluted entries in the crontab, put a simple one-liner for the shell script, then put all your stuff in one shell script where you have complete control, ie:-
(a) lets you dictate exactly what environment gets set up
(b) determine which shell will be used using "#!/bin/sh".
(c) let's you test the script in isolation
(d) means you can change the script without changing the crontab entry.
