Problem with executing a shell script through the cron

Hi,

I have a shell script as below:

ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/opt/oracle/product/dev
export ORACLE_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/bin
export PATH

OUTFILE=/export/home/`basename $0`.out
export OUTFILE
export IDEN

df -k . | tail -1 | read a b c d e f
echo $a >> $OUTFILE
echo $b >> $OUTFILE
echo $c >> $OUTFILE
echo $d >> $OUTFILE
echo $e >> $OUTFILE
echo $f >> $OUTFILE

When i try to execute this script manually, I get the value for all a,b,c,d,e,f populated. However, on trying to execute it thru the cron, all these values come blank.

Can anyone help me with the reason behind this?

Thanks in advance.
