I contest that an unattended auto-update is a security risk in itself,
in fact take a look at the Description of cron-apt:
"Observe that this tool may be a security risk, so you should not set it
to do more than necessary. Automatic upgrade of all packages is NOT
recommended unless you are in full control of the package repository."

Have you this line
deb http://security.debian.org lenny/updates main contrib
in your "/etc/apt/sources.lst file?
