My eyesight must be going... for a second I thought this post was from Joan
Rivers :-)

The HOME variable (and any other environment variables you need) should be
set right in the crontab entry, as below:

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.18012 installed on Mon Mar 10 19:21:14 2003)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.497 installed on Sun Dec 29 22:21:53 2002)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $)
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
HOME=/home/mythtv

# run-parts
