This doesn't work for your cron job, which isn't a child of the
ssh-agent session, and doesn't know the socket address.
I'd recommend a forced command, running without a password. The
alternative is to use a set of smeaphore files to indicate the location
of the ssh-agent socket.
This is a situation well covered in the O'Reilly SSH book.
Peace.
