Thanks Miles. I don't know how permissions might come in because the
crontab belongs to root. The backup script belongs to user, but root
should be able to run it as long as I give it the full path. 

But I did enable a cron log, which for some reason was disabled on my
system. I'll have to wait a week to see what that log has to say. I
don't know how to set its level, or if enabling the cron log captures
all message from the cron daemon.
