I do not know the answer. Here is something you may want to try/read. Script in crontab.weekly are run by root while your script has execution bit only for dod. I will make it 755 file and see what happens. But I do not understand why you want to run script in user account by root. If script is for root put it in /etc/cron.daily and set file to 755 root:root just like other file. If this is user script, then you need to read man 5 crontab and man 1 crontab. Basically set file crontab and run crontab.
