cron help



 I have a script that I use to backup my data files to the Amazon S3. 
For it to work I need to run is as sudo (root).  I placed this script 
into /etc/cron.weekly.  It does not run in cron.  How can I get the 
script to run.  Here is the  script 

#!/bin/bash 

# This script backups /jdata to Amazon S3 

EXCMDS="-vs"  # you can add -n in here for testing, remove s for 
non-ssl, remove verbosity, etc 
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail 
EMAIL=root@localhost 

cd /usr/local/s3sync 

echo -e "To: ${EMAIL}\nSubject: s3backup results\nContent-type: 
text/plain\n\n" > /tmp/s3backup.log 

#pg_dumpall -Ucdmoyer | gzip > /opt/www/db/pg_dumpall.gz 
#/root/.pgpass is needed for this 
./s3sync.rb  ${EXCMDS} --delete -r /etc/ jdata_backup:etc >> /tmp/s3backup.log 
./s3sync.rb  ${EXCMDS} --delete -r /jdata/ jdata_backup:jdata >> 
/tmp/s3backup.log 
./s3sync.rb  ${EXCMDS} --delete -r /home/jmkramer/.tomboy 
jdata_backup:tomboy >> /tmp/s3backup.log 

 cat /tmp/s3backup.log | ${SENDMAIL} "${EMAIL}" 

Thanks for the help 
Jay
