What commandline are you running? If it works by hand but not from a script then that suggests that it might be that the program needs a TTY to run properly - you could try running "dbclient -t" in the cronjob?
Testing here redirecting output seems to work as below (the shell is zsh). I've added -T to be similar to how a cronjob would run.
