Is the script running as a user that doesn't have permission to write the file (or
even directory) you've chosen? Try making a directory /testtmp with a testfile in it
then chmod -R 777 /testtmp and run it from cron again. Did you install the recent RH
cron update? If so maybe that's what broke it. Also, try using a different user's
crontab.
