unexpected behaviour of 'find' command


Hi,

I'm running cygwin-1.3.2, setup-2.78.2.3 on w2k pro in stand-alone mode.

The following file,
-rwxr-xr-x    1 Administ None          154 Aug 28 11:43 del_oldfiles.out

contains

#! /bin/sh
rm -f '/home/Administrator/oldfiles.txt'
/usr/bin/find.exe /e/work/DBA_Scripts -depth -type f -mtime -4 -exec rm -f 
{} \;
date >> oldfiles.txt


When this file is executed from the command shell, it executes as expected. 
When it is executed from a Cron job, the find command seems to do nothing. 
Anyone know why this is so?


Regards,

James Nallen,
