lol, nm... The problem wasn't with the date but to do with cron not being able to find a file which the script was using. The syntax worked and the script ran successfully for the first time last night!
Thanks again for all your replies... I've learned so much already from these forums. Keep up the good work!

cscope-indexer
cscope-indexer(1) General Commands Manual cscope-indexer(1)
NAME
cscope-indexer - Script to index files for cscope
SYNOPSIS
cscope-indexer [-v] [-f database_file] [-i list_file] [-l] [-r]
DESCRIPTION
This script generates a list of files to index (cscope.out), which is then (optionally) used to generate a cscope database. You can use
this script to just build a list of files, or it can be used to build a list and database. This script is not used to just build a data-
base (skipping the list of files step), as this can be simply done by just calling "cscope -b".
Normally, cscope will do its own indexing, but this script can be used to force indexing. This is useful if you need to recurse into sub-
directories, or have many files to index (you can run this script from a cron job, during the night). It is especially useful for large
projects, which can contstantly have source files added and deleted; by using this script, the changing sources files are automatically
handled.
Currently, any paths containing "/CVS/" or "/RCS/" are stripped out (ignored).
OPTIONS
-f database_file
Specifies the cscope database file (default: cscope.out).
-i list_file
Specifies the name of the file into which the list of files to index is placed (default: cscope.files).
-l Suppress the generation/updating of the cscope database file. Only a list of files is generated.
-r Recurse into subdirectories to locate files to index. Without this option, only the current directory is searched.
-v Be verbose. Output simple progress messages.
