Okay, the problem seems to be with a certain part of my script. Like I
said, it works fine when I start it manually (./)
I set up a few "checkpoints" if you will, and I determined that it's this

Merely adding it as an assignment is not enough for child
processes of the cron script to 'see' the value. Make sure
you also 'export' the new PATH:
PATH='...'

(root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun) Nov 3 09:00:00 server
/usr/sbin/cron[56345]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/Backup/scripts/bkup-daily)
