In my crontab I define script 'do_daily.run':
30 23 * * * root /root/cronjobs/do_daily.run

The content of this script (amongst others) is:
rsync -avpog /etc                       /backup/$DATE/

Funny thing now is that in the output of the script, the following appears:
/root/cronjobs/do_daily.run: rsync: not found

file credentials of the script itself:
-rwx------  1 root  wheel   246 Jun 20  2010 do_daily.run

What do I oversee here?

add

PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin

in the beginning of your crontab

your default $PATH is NOT cron default $PATH
