The line that actually appears *in* the crontab is interpreted by sh, so you should avoid bashisms there. You also need to escape % signs. Your script, however, is executed according to the shebang at the top of it. So, if you use bashisms in your script, you should have a #!/bin/bash shebang on it (assuming the script only needs to run on Debian systems).
