I suspect (don't know) that jobs run using cron/at/etc are
automatically given an input of /dev/null.  awk (which is designed to
process standard input) may detect this and do something silly.  Try
running the script manually with input fed from /dev/null see if that
works.  Also, try running it with gawk rather than mawk - see if that
makes a difference.
