Wild guess:
I assume /e is a mount for E:/ ?
Is E: a mapped network drive?

If so, mapped network drives don't work when the user context is changed 
(as in cron).  Try something like:
         $ find //mschine/share ...
instead.

(Should this be added to the FAQ?)

     up in the dictionary under "L" and there it was - the meaning
     of life.  It was not what I expected.                  - Dogbert
