cron not running script?

hi all,
I have written a cron script to rebuild the glimpse index of the man pages
on my computer that tkman creates. If I run this script as root it works
fine, however, when I put the script in the directory /etc/cron.weekly the
indexes don't get updated. The date on the index files doesn't change. So
my guess is the script isn't even getting run, however, the
makewhatis.cron script in the same directory gets run. I checked the path
settings in /etc/crontab and they are ok. Any ideas? Here is what my
script looks like:
#!/bin/bash
################################################################################
# Runs "glimpseindex" to index man pages
# Tue May 5 15:49:16 UTC 1998
################################################################################
DIR0=`echo "$MANPATH" | awk -F: '{ print $1 }'`
if [ "$DIR0" != "" ]; then
DIR1=`echo "$MANPATH" | awk -F: '{ print $2 }'`
if [ "$DIR1" != "" ]; then
DIR2=`echo "$MANPATH" | awk -F: '{ print $3 }'`
if [ "$DIR2" != "" ]; then
DIR3=`echo "$MANPATH" | awk -F: '{ print $4 }'`
if [ "$DIR3" != "" ]; then
DIR4=`echo "$MANPATH" | awk -F: '{ print
$5 }'`
if [ "$DIR4" != "" ]; then
DIR5=`echo "$MANPATH" | awk -F: '{
print $6 }'`
if [ "$DIR5" != "" ]; then
glimpseindex -o -B -z -H
$DIR5 $DIR5
cd $DIR5
chmod 644 .glimpse_*
fi
glimpseindex -o -B -z -H $DIR4
$DIR4
cd $DIR4
chmod 644 .glimpse_*
fi
glimpseindex -o -B -z -H $DIR3 $DIR3
cd $DIR3
chmod 644 .glimpse_*
fi
glimpseindex -o -B -z -H $DIR2 $DIR2
cd $DIR2
chmod 644 .glimpse_*
fi
glimpseindex -o -B -z -H $DIR1 $DIR1
cd $DIR1
chmod 644 .glimpse_*
fi
glimpseindex -o -B -z -H $DIR0 $DIR0
cd $DIR0
chmod 644 .glimpse_*
fi
exit 0
