at a tangent to the main question, did you actually check this in cron?
Because % is used to insert newlines in crontab and needs to be escaped (with \).
Ooo, I didn't know about the newline thing. And no, I hadn't yet tested the actual cron lines.
Thanks for the heads up. And hooray for many eyes!
