May be as simple as not using absolute paths or not exporting env. variables
most differences in behavior we see between cron running a job and manual runs is because of differences in path setting...
it is always imperative to use absolute paths (starting from /) in all the directory paths in your script...
similarly I hope that you export all the relevant environment variables (like PATH etc) in the very beginning of your shell script... if you run a script manually it will inherit all the env. variables of your logon shell (some of them may be set in your .profile).. if you run a script using cron it will inherit all the cron user's env. variables... you need to ensure within the script that all required env. variables are explicitly set and exported, so that these hold the same values for the subsequent commands using them - both in cron and manual modes...
the java exception you show indicates that a java class was not found in the class path...
Hope this helps...
Cheers!

uudemon.cleanu
uudemon(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual uudemon(4)
NAME
uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour, uudemon.poll - Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool
directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons
SYNOPSIS
These shell scripts reside in the following directory:
/usr/lib/uucp
DESCRIPTION
All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the scripts, remove
the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file.
This script reports status to the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the
results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID (uucpa) or
root. This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com-
mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1. This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background. This
script polls the systems listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file. The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour
script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script.
FILES
Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files. Contains the uucp file.
RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1)
