Throwing away all the output is a good way to never find out what is wrong. Try replacing: > /dev/null 2>&1 with: >> my-script.output 2>&1 and looking at that file.

Crons environment is very spartan. Your .[bash_]profile etc have not run and so on. Probably an environment variable is missing or too small. By capturing the output in a file as described you should learn more.
