[rrd-users] Strange behavior with rddtool update with crontab

Hello.

I'm facing a strange behavior with a Bash script executed by CRONTAB.
The script works fine if I run it from the command line directly. However,
if I try to run  it time controlled by CRONTAB , I'm getting the following
error
message:

--1-- 
ERROR: temps.rrd: expected 3 data source readings (got 3) from N
39.6875
23.125

If I list the RRD-DB temps.rrd by 

rrdtool fetch temps.rrd AVERAGE --start N-1000 --end N<

I can see that the organization  (just 2 values per entry) is correct.

Again, the script works correctly  executed via the command line. The 
valid values above are entered that way. By CRONTAB execution, I do 
not get entries due to the error.

Any idea what's wrong ?
(I'm new with RRDTOOLS and LINUX, hopefully the question is not stupid)

Thanks
