so i have two scripts for generating shortcuts to my movies to put in one
centralized folder.

i have the crontab service installed and it is running under my user name.

both scripts work from the command line when run manually as me but script
#2 does not.

script #1 - works from the command line and in crontab:
rm c:/Movies/*
ln -s f:/Movies\ 2/* c:/Movies
ln -s g:/Movies\ 3/* c:/Movies

script #2 - works from the command line but not in crontab (this scripts
creates links for movies modified less than 30 days old):
rm c:/NEW\ Movies/*
find f:/Movies\ 2/* -maxdepth 0 -mtime -30 -exec ln -s {} c:/NEW\ Movies \;
find g:/Movies\ 3/* -maxdepth 0 -mtime -30 -exec ln -s {} c:/NEW\ Movies \;

Here is the output from cron.log in my home directory

Anyone have any idea why the find isn't working properly when in the
crontab?  I dont actually think it's a permission denied issue but something
with the parsing possible (since I made sure i have full access to all the
files and the script works from the command line).  maybe it's something
with the environment variables.  thanks in advance for any ideas.
