I tried the following:

standard in must be a tty
I have seen this message before when trying to run a script that then
prompts for a Password:
you must be a tty (or have keyboard available) to type in a password.
If you ran your cron entry from root's cron, I'd bet that you would
not get the same message, because root does not have to supply a
password to su to another user.
