try change
Code:
tomcatPID=`pidof /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_13/bin/java`

Code:
tomcatPID=`/sbin/pidof /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_13/bin/java`

The basic problem is that cron does not set any of the usual environment variables, and usually uses / as the working directory. So to be save, call all programs by their complete path, as well as all files you access.
