does it run well if you run it manually? and have you read this?

consult cron's log /var/log/cron and check if you could find something

You already have one. Take a look at the FAQ link provided by Yogesh Sawant.

I think that it's difficult to schedule a job to run every 35 minutes, unless your cron supports the step ("/") operator.
