The windows sort command was definitely the problem. I had not set a
PATH for cron so it was using the default PATH. When I set a PATH in the
crontab it resolved the issue. One thing I'm not quite sure of is why
didn't it work properly from cron when I specified the full path to sort
in the script.....

Thanks!
