Please can you edit the rsnapshot.conf file to enable a logfile (if it's
not already), and set the 'loglevel' and 'verbose' options to 5.  Then after
the next time it has run fron cron, show us what went into the log file.

And also as other people suggested, capture all the output (both STDERR
and STDOUT) from the command.
