Schau' mal genau hin, bis wohin die Zeile in der Fehlermeldung angezeigt wird.

man 5 crontab:
The entire command portion of the line, up to a newline or % character, will be
 executed  by /bin/sh  or  by  the shell specified in the SHELL variable of the
crontab file.  Percent-signs (%) in the command, unless escaped with backslash
(\), will be changed into newline characters, and all data after the first %
will be sent to the command as standard input.

Jetzt aber viel Erfolg,
