Hi Jeff,
I bet the $HOME environment variable isn't
being set by your cron implementation.
Try putting an echo $HOME in your script and
see if it's defined.
I did. Here's the result:
+++++++++
PGUSER: postgres
PGDATABASE: canon
PGHOST: localhost
PGPASSFILE: /usr/local/pgsql/.pgpass
PGDATA: /usr/local/pgsql/data

HOME: /usr/local/pgsql
Password:

You might need to export the variables and not just set it. I think you're
doing that with the other variables already, but I didn't see HOME being
exported. I've never had to explicitly export these on Redhat derivatives,
so I doubt that's the problem.
What does your .pgpass look like?
I couldn't find it in the message archives.
