Is it the HOME variable or the act of rewriting? User did have home
defined in /etc/passwd.
I suspect that $HOME isn't being defined as one might expect-- cron
provides a very minimal shell environment for scripts it runs.
except that I have exactly the same script running on another box with the same
freeBSD version and that runs things fine. Looking in man 5 crontab seems to
suggest that SHELL=/bin/sh & HOME, LOGNAME are set from the user passwd entry.
