This script will set up a shell with an environment pretty similar to what cron runs under. You should put it in a file (mine's called "barebash"), run it, and try your cron command from there. 
#!/bin/sh

logname=$USER
home=$HOME

for i in `env | sed 's/=.*//'`; do
    if [ X"$i" != XPATH ]; then
        unset $i
    fi
done

export LOGNAME=$logname
export TERM=dumb
export HOSTTYPE=i386
export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
export HOME=$home
export SHELL=/bin/sh
export OSTYPE=Linux
export SHLVL=1
export _=/usr/bin/env

exec bash -noprofile -norc $*
