 You check the cron log? maybe it ran it just had an error so
 it didn't produce the results you expected.
 

In fact it ran OK. Only the result wasn't as expected :o)

Thanks.

Now here's what I have on the local backup server :

You may have checked already, but make sure that crond is running,  
i.e. /sbin/service crond status. I get crond (pid 1706) is running


Thanks,

It's also good to send STDOUT/STDERR to a file for easier debugging
of cron stuff.

Also note that cron takes a minute to load the config, so for
example if it was :23 after the hour and you put in a new entry to
run at :24 after the hour it likely will not run. Just thought to
toss that in in the event you tried something like that.
