Hi,
I had a similar problem on a Slug running unslung V5.5. Running Dirvish 
from the command line was always OK, via cron it broke about 33% of the 
time. In my case I found two solutions:

1. Use Cron to send the Dirvish command to atd.
2. Upgraded Cron and the newest version for unslung worked OK.

If yours breaks each time then I would suggest a configuration problem 
is more likely.

Cheers Brian
