Then the issue is a difference in the shells. That means the actual
shell (sh vs bash), or the environment in the shell, or the user
running the shell.

You could try running /bin/sh at the command line then seeing if your
command line works. Might give you a clue.

Are you seeing failures logged either to /var/log/syslog or to root's
mail spool file (or the recipient of emails to root)?

Regards, K.
