Script working on command line and not on crontab

my problem is this: when I run a script from the command line it works but returns a failure if I run it from crontab.
Basically I wanted to send a file to hdfs,
I thought it was related to the fact that crontab do not know the path to hdfs so I put the full path but it still does not work: here is the piece of code that fails :
Code:
/usr/bin/hdfs dfs -put -f  $source_directory/$file $hdfs_target_directory

and here is the nice error message

Code:
put: Failed on local exception: java.io.IOException: javax.security.sasl.SaslException: GSS initiate failed [Caused by GSSException: No valid credentials provided (Mechanism level: Failed to find any Kerberos tgt)]; Host Details : local host is: "aocsv155bed0p.foo.acme.net/10.12.11.133"; destination host is: "aocsv155bna1p.foo.acme.net":8020;

Any help please ? Smilie

Here is the code :
Code:
for file in $FILE_LIST
       
 do
                /usr/bin/hdfs dfs -put -f $source_directory/$file $hdfs_target_directory
                res=$?
                       if test "$res" != "0"; then
                            echo "the hdfs put command failed with: $res"
                       else
                            echo "the hdfs put command success with : $res"
                       fi
        done
