Tim, the program is run by cron in a different environment to the standard online environment. Is /bin/alldb a script? If so, *any* program in the script should have a full path, or the PATH enviroment variable should be specified in the cron. (see 'man cron').
Only execs outside of /bin:/usr/bin need to be fully pathed; cron exports a default PATH of /bin:/usr/bin.
Please see "man crontab" for the explanation as to what is going wrong here; look for '%' in the man page.
