My suspicion would be that somewhere along the line you are referencing
a mount point or a mapped location that just is not accessible from
cron. Cron's environment does not insure that all network locations are
accessible. I remember asking about this in the past. There is some
difference between mount points where some are "global" and some are
not. IIRC I never got a satisfactory answer as to the question of how
one tells the difference.
You should probably add some cron entries to ls various files you depend
on using their exact paths that you use in your scripts. One of them
will most likely fail.
Meantime you might want to set up SMTP so that cron can email you when
you make typos like /usr/sbin/date... :-)
