What do you see in /var/log/cron? Is the cron daemon running? Is it
attempting to run the scripts?
Beyond that, it all depends on what tools are called from your backup
scripts. Are all the tools even installed on the new server? Are all
executable pathnames explicitly defined in the script? If not, then
maybe the cron environment is lacking some things in the PATH. You
also don't even say if the scripts work when run manually.
