Firstly, I think that you need a "-f" between the expect string and the command string.

Secondly, most errors like this with expect under cron are caused by terminal or environment variable issues. A cron job knows nothing about TERM variable so if the job requires input, then it doesn't know where to go to get it. It also doesn't know where to send any output since it has no TERM. Send output to /dev/null if you can. Repeat, check terminal and environment variables needed by cron.
