Cron Issue
Hey all! I'm working on setting up a script to run with cron. I have thus far been unable to get it to successfully complete. I'm hoping you gurus can lend me a hand.

This is my crontab, the transfer script works fine the backup will not. The backup however does work when I execute it from the command line.

Code:
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/data1/baminstall:/home/Admin/bin
HOME=/home/Admin

*/2 * * * *  /opt/data1/BAM/utils/backup.sh
*/13 * * * * /opt/data1/BAM/utils/transfer.sh

The Cron logs show that it is executing it without errors...
Code:
Aug  9 16:52:01 BAM_PNPT crond[13936]: (root) CMD (/opt/data1/BAM/utils/backup.sh)
Aug  9 16:54:01 BAM_PNPT crond[13980]: (root) CMD (/opt/data1/BAM/utils/backup.sh)
Aug  9 16:56:01 BAM_PNPT crond[14018]: (root) CMD (/opt/data1/BAM/utils/backup.sh)
Aug  9 16:58:01 BAM_PNPT crond[14064]: (root) CMD (/opt/data1/BAM/utils/backup.sh)

This is the script I am trying to run.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#!/usr/bin/
set PATH=/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/data1/baminstall:/home/Admin/bin

java -classpath "MicroXML.jar:log4j.jar:fileIO.jar:logging-server.jar:br-server.jar:core-server.jar:ds-server.jar:postgresql-8.1-404.jdbc2ee.jar" \
org.mg.br.server.utils.BackupRestoreCli -action backup -xml BackupRestoreConfig.xml

Thank you in advance!
