Please send future cygcheck attachments uncompressed.

Assuming that adolf_treiner is a user that has network access, I would
say the next most likely cause of your problem is your reliance on some
environment (variables most likely) that doesn't exist for 'cron'.  You
may want to review your script to see if there's anything obvious that
it relies on.  Anything you find should be added to the script so it
is set when 'cron' runs the script.
