If you are using cron, normally an email will be sent to the owner of the script (eg root if the command is in the root crontab) if there is any output from the script.
In my experience s3cmd sync usually generate output even if there isn't anything to update so you should be getting emails now. You can add the directive: MAILTO="somebody@somedomain" to change the address mail is sent to. (This does assume your Ubuntu machine is configured with a MTA. If that hasn't been set up a bit of web-searching should show you the way.)
