I explicitly set and export PATH and HOME at the start of my backup 
script as these may not be set correctly in the context of a cronjob. 
Eg. your .bashrc file may not have been sourced.

I'd say add the following, or equivalent for your system, to the start 
of your script and see if it helps:

PATH=/opt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
HOME=/root
export PATH HOME
