Okay, I have the following script that runs fine from a command line as well as an executable .sh file. It just moves any file/folder with movie* in the name to a folder called _Movies. The issue I'm running into is when it's call from a cron.
Crontab looks like the following, with my scripts being called move_downloads.sh
I realize it's running every minute, but it's set that way while I debug it. I get the following in the log file, and the movie does not move when the cron job is ran.
Any ideas? I'm going crazy trying to figure out what could be wrong. Thanks!

I "borrowed" a script I found online, to start a SAP router application on a Solaris 11 (SPARC) server.
The script runs fine when calling it manually, but when I schedule it to run from cron, it doesn't. I don't see any warning or failure messages anywhere, just nothing happens.

packf
packf(1mh)packf(1mh)Name
packf - compress a folder into a single file
Syntax
packf [ +folder ] [ msgs ] [ -file name ] [ -help ]
Description
Each message in a folder is normally stored as a separate file. The command takes all messages from the current folder and copies them to
a single specified file. Each message in the file is separated by four <CTRL/A>s and a newline.
You can specify a folder other than the current folder by using the +folder argument. If you do not want all the messages in a folder to
be packed into one file, you can specify a number of messages or a range of messages with message numbers.
The first message packed will become the current message. If you specify a +folder argument, that folder will become the current folder.
When messages have been packed into a file using you can separate them into individual messages using the command. See
Options-file name
Specifies the file in which you want the message(s) to be stored. If you specify an existing file then the specified messages
will be appended to the end of that file. Otherwise, a new file will be created and the messages placed in it. If you do not
specify a filename, attempts to place the messages in a file called in the current working directory. If this file does not
exist, asks whether you want to create it.
-help Prints a list of the valid options to this command.
The default settings for this command are:
+folder defaults to the current folder
msgs defaults to all
-file ./msgbox
Examples
The first example shows all the messages in the folder being packed into a file called
% packf +lrp -file planning
The next example shows how prompts you if you do not specify a -file option. A file called is created by in your home directory, and mes-
sages 3 to 5 are packed into it:
% packf +lrp 3-5
Create file "/machine/disk/username/msgbox"? y
