Little checklist:

1. Is your cron running -> u2ix [checked]
2. Permissions to use cron [checked]
3. Does your script run in the shell [checked i hope]
4. Run a litte script that shows you the environmet in your cron (-> env) / it is never the same as in your shell :-)
5. after execute your php-creat-cronjob-script check with corntab -l the crontab

-- do you get mail from your cron ?
