Any chance you could post what your cron script looks like?  I might
replicate it here if a solution can't be found.  Also, has anyone contacted
the port maintainer?  It seems silly to include something in the port tree
that is broken.  I'm also considering watching the log file to see if it's
been updated w/i the past 5 minutes or something like that (read: ugly).
