Help: taper fails under cron

[servis@purdue.edu]

I can't seem to get taper to do backups under cron.  I have created a
file set and saved it under tapers interactive interface and my cron
line for the root account is:

1 0 * * 0,1,3,5 /sbin/taper -U @full

When it runs it starts but soon fails.  Taper emails the root account a
list of all the files/directories marked for inclusion and then fails
with:

   Backup commenced at Sun Oct  4 00:01:36 1998

   Unable to start backup child
   Backup ABORTED

   Backup finished at Sun Oct  4 00:15:51 1998

Then the cron daemon emails root with

   Unable to start backup child
   sh: /var/tmp/taper15707aaa: No such file or directory

I can run '/sbin/taper -U @full' from the root command line and it works
just fine.  What is happening such that it is failing from cron?

Thanks,
