I already answered your question, it is rude to post the same question
to several mailing lists, when you have already recived an answer. If
you do not find the answer good enough, have the decency to say so
instead of just repeating the same message. The information you have
is vauge, you should ask your system administrator to take a look at
it, since we do not know what is going exactly.

install: invalid user `-g'

Any Idea why this fails only when run as a cron job?
Given the vauge information it is impossible to give a exact response.
But it seems that you are passing the incorrect number of flags to
install. Maybe your script uses a variable, and it is empty, i.e.
install -u $(FOO) -g $(BAR)
Where FOO is empty and BAR is either empty or defined to something
useful (hence why you get invalid user `-g').
if this is not the correct list to post this question please
redirect me to the correct list.
bug-coreutils@gnu.org might have been better (see the output from
`install --help').
