[SWLUG] Crontab difficulties

I am trying to get a program to run every minute using crontab.
using crontab -e I have set up the following.

* * * * * /programpath etc.

The program simply waits a random number of extra seconds and saves the time 
before the wait and after to a file.

Running it from the command line. It works.
However nothing seems to happen from the crontab.

Any ideas what is wrong?
