It is always fantastically difficult to know how many different
layers of shell escape processing stuff is gonna wind up
going through. If I were you, I'd make a shell script
with that whole command in it, verify that the shell script
works, then just invoke the shell script from cron so
there won't be any shell escaping going on till it gets
into the script itself.
