Det er helt præcis %-tegnet der er problemet. 

crontab(5) siger:

   The ``sixth'' field (the rest of the line) specifies the command to
   be run.  The entire command portion of the line, up to a newline or
   % character, will be executed by /bin/sh or by the shell specified
   in the SHELL variable of the cronfile.  Percent-signs (%) in the
   command, unless escaped with backslash (\), will be changed into
   newline characters, and all data after the first % will be sent to
   the command as standard input.
