Hello
1)
Are you using variables within the cron script (or is it really as hardcoded as you describe)?
If so, this would be the cause of error, as CRON runs without an 'environment' (AFAIK).
2)
Did you add the job to the root's cron, or to your own?
3)
I dont know /etc/hosts.base ; is that a Mac (or customized) thing?
But since you said the script runs fine when executed manualy, this cant be it.
