Perhaps you haven't set the appropriate PATH in your crontab?

If that doesn't solve it, please post more information. That helps
people to help you! Please post:

- your cron script
- the output from your cron script
- the log and summary files that dirvish produced (don't post the whole
list of files from the log if it is a big file)
- the rsync_error file if there is one
