How/where did you install this cron job? In "joe"'s crontab via "crontab -e"?
Or in the system-wide crontab (e.g. one of/etc/cron*)?

How did you reach the conclusion that the job isn't executed at all?
Does /var/log/cron mention it? Do other cron jobs work for you if you
install them in the same way?
