The key error here is:

a87killo'@'localhost

Are you using a shared server that uses host names to connect to your database?

As a side note, this may be due to because the cron is not finding the correct path.

In that script, there should be specific paths in the config information. If not do a crontab -e and check if the crontab actually holds the correct location. If it's holding relative path include a literal path such as:

/home/username/data/blah/
