That should work IF
bkscript.sh returns 0(zero) and only zero.
Chances are that your environment is broken in the cron, and the first script barfs some where.
Do a dummy run like this, just one time use the same user's crontab, then delete it.
test.sh with execute permissions:
crontab -e this entry into cron
Give it a minute ior two.
crontab -e and remove the test.sh.
Now compare what you have in the /tmp/set[n] file with the expected environment.
This isn't the usual problem that a shell script runs from the command line and not the cron. It's a little different.
Among other things, the shell scrip executes my .profile to set a bunch of variables. It then does an env to ensure that it ran OK.

service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8)NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable an environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with the current
working directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script. service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop
commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start com-
mand.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton,
update-rc.d(8),
init(8),
invoke-rc.d(8).
