Being that you're an Australian, I'll try to give ya a hand mate! (grin) When you set up the cron job, who owns the job? Or, when it's run, who is the user that it is running as? (Preferably root would be a good owner for that job) - that's the first part to start looking into... (BTW, what software are you using for your backup solution?)
