Keep in mind, that cron jobs do not have the same environment settings
as a login shell.

It may be that you need to use absolute paths in your script (or set
PATH accordingly);

i.e. /bin/mount

If you're using sudo in non-interactive scripts it's probably a good
idea to use NOPASSWD: in your sudoers file.
However, since the crontab is running as root, the use of sudo is
redundant anyway.
