Redirect the output of the cronjob, this will give you more an idea of what is going wrong.

Cron needs the full path to commands, my guess (without seeing your script) is that a full path is needed somewhere.

NAME
airport2-ipinspector - WAN monitoring utility for the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station ("Snow") SYNOPSIS
airport2-ipinspector DESCRIPTION
airport2-ipinspector monitors the WAN interface of the base station and sends an email notification whenever the external (WAN) IP address of the base station changes. OPTIONS
airport2-ipinspector accepts no command-line options. airport2-ipinspector is a wrapper script around the IPInspector.jar jar file located in /usr/share/java/airport-utils. You can set the JAVACMD environment variable to use a specific JVM instead of the one chosen by the wrapper script. Set the DEBUG environ- ment variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DEBUG Set this variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script. JAVACMD The full path to the Java Virtual Machine to use. By default, the wrapper uses JAVACMD; if it is not set, it looks for JAVA_BINDIR/java, then for JAVA_HOME/bin/java before looking for a java executable in the PATH. In the latter case, the JVM used can be configured using the Debian alternatives system (see update-alternatives(8)). JAVA_HOME The full path where your JDK/JRE is installed. JAVA_BINDIR The full path to the directory where the java executable is located. JAVA_ARGS Extra command-line arguments to be passed to the Java Virtual Machine. AUTHOR
airport2-ipinspector was written by Jon Sevy <jsevy@cs.drexel.edu>. This manual page was written by Julien BLACHE <jblache@debian.org>, for the Debian project (but may be used by others). May 20, 2006 AIRPORT2-IPINSPECTOR(1)
