You need to use the "export" command in the first script to put a variable in the environment. The second script will inherit the environment from its parent.

The other thing worth mentioning is that a cron script must be self-sufficient. Don't depend on setup stuff from .profile. So set variables like PATH in the script. Don't rely on the the PATH you inherit from cron.
