Pierre,
fantastic help, can't thank you enough - I didn't realize you could
explicitly set HOME in the crontab - adding
set HOME=/home/xuser
worked a treat.
For future reference the error is below, hope it helps someone when they
google this.
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( /usr/sbin/cron ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or
message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be
able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see
Help and
Support for details. The following information is part of the event:
/usr/sbin/cron: PID 966380: (CRON) error (can't cd to HOME).

Hello,
Hopefully I'm supposed to post at the bottom of the page. I tried adding
set HOME=/home/username and recieved a bad minute error? Is there some
trick to this..
Bottom posting is highly encouraged as well as selective trimming to keep
context for your reply and the message size manageable.
I guess we'd need to see your crontab file.
