Fixed the cron job for real this time... there were misleading log file 
entries which indicated the problem was different. :P

Actual bug was obsolete hardcoded paths in the batch scripts -- 
attempting to run PHP from /usr/local/bin and grabbing the cluster id 
from /etc/cluster which we apparently no longer use on new machines?

I've started a manual run of the small-wikis updates. Large wikis will 
continue on their regular schedule.
