Unix shell script file fails as cron

[ChrisK]

I'm running a shell script file which does a db backup with mysqldump, gzip's it and then uploads it to a ftp server with ncftpput. It runs perfectly fine from the console logged in as both root and a regular user. the file as well as the directory it resides in and the dir where the backup files are stored locally has 777 permissions. The script does the backup fine as cron but fails to connect and upload the files with ncftpput.

Can anyone please help me with this?

Here's the script:

#!/bin/bash

for db in `mysqlshow -uroot -prooFUcha69 | \
tr -d " " | \
tr -d "|" | \
grep -v "+" | \
grep -v "Databases"`; do

mysqldump -u$mysqluser -pmysqlpass --add-drop-table -a $db > $localpath/$date-$db.sql 2>&1

gzip -9 $localpath/$date-$db.sql > /dev/null 2>&1
done

ncftpput -u $login -p $pass $ftpserver $ftpfolder $localpath/$date*gz > /dev/null 2>&1


if [ $? != 0 ]; then
echo && echo "Script failed"
exit
fi

# end

When it runs as cron it backs up the files but doesn't upload then and I get a "Script failed"

Thanks alot for any help!
