Shell execution

I'm new to cygwin (latest) and NT (4.0 sp 6) but not to UNIX. I am experiencing a conflict between bash and cron execution and hope someone can point out what I've missed.
When I run a shell from the cygwin prompt/command line, it works fine.
When I schedule the same shell in cron, I get errors saying the files I'm trying to grep on don't exist. I am using an "*" in the filename because there are several, as in file1.log, file2.log, file3.log, etc.
The script follows.
#!/bin/bash
SID=fprd
xwork=/tmp/check.wrk1
xdisk=/cygdrive/m/Backups/COLDBACKUPS/FPRD/Logs
cnt=$(grep -i '0 file' $xdisk/$SID_copyjob*.log | wc -l )
cnt=$(echo $cnt | tr -d ' ')
if [ $cnt -gt 0 ] ; then
echo "To: xxxx@airtouchpaging.net" >$xwork
# echo "To: xxx@xxx.org" >$xwork
echo "Cc: xxx@xxx.org" >>$xwork
echo "Subj: Cold Backup Error! There were $cnt files not copied. Please manually copy. " >>$xwork
ssmtp -F "DBA Alert" -t <$xwork
fi
exit 0
# end of script
Any help will be appreciated. I'm sure there is just a setting I've missed somewhere.
Thanks!
