The line that actually appears *in* the crontab is interpreted by sh,
so you should avoid bashisms there.  You also need to escape % signs.

Your script, however, is executed according to the shebang at the top
of it.  So, if you use bashisms in your script, you should have a
#!/bin/bash shebang on it (assuming the script only needs to run on
Debian systems).
