Find with name not working from crontab
find without -name works fine.
find with -name '[a-Z]*' works from interactive bash, but not from cron.

Code:
mgr@someplace:~$ crontab -l | grep wsl
17 09 * * * /usr/bin/find /wsbj/logs/mgr/webServiceLogs -type f -mtime +30 > /home/mgr/wsl_find.out
17 09 * * * /usr/bin/find /wsbj/logs/mgr/webServiceLogs -type f -name '[a-Z]*' -mtime +30 > /home/mgr/wsl_find2.out
mgr@someplace:~$ head -1 /home/mgr/wsl_find.out
/wsbj/logs/mgr/webServiceLogs/ws_cookie_log_user_101014.gz
mgr@someplace:~$ head -1 /home/mgr/wsl_find2.out
mgr@someplace:~$ /usr/bin/find /wsbj/logs/mgr/webServiceLogs -type f -name '[a-Z]*' -mtime +30 | head -1
/wsbj/logs/mgr/webServiceLogs/ws_cookie_log_user_101014.gz

Some missing environment variable or shellopt, I would assume, but what?

Debian 5.0, bash 3.2.52 (/bin/sh is bash)
