This _may_ be your problem: from the FAQ:
5.5. I have problems running rundig from cron under Linux.
This problem commonly occurs on Red Hat Linux 5.0 and 5.1, because of a
bug in vixie-cron. It causes htmerge to fail with a "Word sort failed" error.
It's fixed in Red Hat 5.2. You can install vixie-cron-3.0.1-26.{arch}.rpm
from a 5.2 distribution to fix the problem on 5.0 or 5.1. A quick fix for the
problem is to change the first line of rundig to "#!/bin/ash" which will run
the script through the ash shell, but this doesn't solve the underlying problem.
Cheers
