Change your "shebang" line from:

#!/bin/sh

to

#!/bin/sh -x

That will cause the output to be much more verbose, and you may see the 
problem.

I'm assuming, of course, that you are getting an email with the output 
from your command.

What I'm suspecting is that your getting a "command not found" error. 
You may be able to fix this easily by specifying the path to the command 
you are using.
