Just as $PATH is not inherited from your environment to be used when a cron job you submit runs, the variables in your script $dirlog, $date, $dirzip, and $dircom are undefined when cron runs this script.

Are the results what you would expect to see if you ran the script:
Code:
# Rsync website.com to local machine
/usr/bin/rsync -Pavzhe "ssh -p 22" --log-file=\_website.rsync.log --bwlimit=2500 --skip-compress=jpg/zip --delete user@website.com:'/home/user/' "/mnt/data/Backups/website.com"
# Zip site to 2G chunks
/usr/bin/zip -r -s 2g -y -2 /website_.zip /
