Y'all were right. You were absolutely right!!!!! It was the environment variables. Once I placed the variables at the beginning of the script and exported them, the cron worked perfectly.

I'll add it to the script and see what happens.

Without those, you won't get anything. They're probably being set just fine for you when you log in.
