It's not likely to have anything to do with growisofs, more likely with
the environment being different for programs when started from cron.
Commands are run by cron within the environment provided by cron, not
within your shell environment (good thing too). To see what your cron
environment is, Use this in a crontab:
* * * * * /usr/bin/env | /usr/bin/sort >/tmp/env
For testing of environments I made the script envreload, it runs
programs with the environment given, like
envreload /tmp/env growisofs ...
If you think it might help you, it's in the scriptutils package on my
website.
