The issue is not with filepath. Since in the previous line I am doing a head on the file, and the file is read fine. (Earlier I hardcoded the filepath)

Cron is finding mpack, and it is finding the file.

I even did things like putting the email id in quotes just incase /bin/sh is griping on the @. However, if that were the case, then it would not work when I put in my own python email script. The same cron is able to send the file through my script. (However, the way mpack encodes is different from the way my python script does, so i want to use mpack).
