Sorry I must have forgotten to say that the script works when I run it 
manually, its just the running it from the CRON tab that doesn't work.

I don't have a working version of linux at the moment (for various), so 
have been confined to working with Windows.  But I will have another 
attempt at re-loading Linux, so that I can at least try things out there.
