So on the one hand you've got a bash script that you've run as your
user, and on the other hand you have the same bash script as called
from cron, perhaps by a different user? Does your script actually
declare #!/bin/bash at the top? Cron may not use bash by default on
your system. Run from the CLI as the same user that'll be doing it in
cron and see if it fails that way. Make sure your run from CLI matches
what's happening in cron exactly.
