MY crontab ain't me!

[Gene Heskett <gheskett@shentel.net>]

I got an email from cron this morning that needs some explaining.
Here is a dcop connand _I_ can execute, no error
/opt/trinity/bin/dcop kmail KMailIface resumeBackgroundJobs

But I put it in MY crontab and get this email

Cron <gene@coyote> /opt/trinity/bin/dcop kmail KMailIface 
resumeBackgroundJobs
 From: Cron Daemon <root@coyote.coyote.den>
 To: gene@coyote.coyote.den
 
ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server!

I have other scripts to aid my incoming email that run as me, and use 
dcop to get their job done w/o a problem.

But put the exact same command in MY crontab and its rejected.

2 questions, why?, and why is this email from root?

Thanks for any enlightenment.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
