I've got a little cron job,

I have other jobs on the same crontab that do.
When I run the script manually, it runs.

Probably something really obvious I'm overlooking, but the more I look,
the less I see why there's a problem.
In my experience with cron jobs it's either permissions or path.
Permissions you said are OK, so I'd put a PATH statement in your
script (I notice it has none), which includes a path to your script
and any programs it calls. Cron jobs operate with a very lean
environment, so the fact it works when you run it from the command
line is no guarantee it will run as a cron job.
