Maybe I wasn't terribly clear, for which I apologize.  I'm not running the text file itself from cron.  I'm running an ansible playbook from cron, which, as one of its tasks runs 'bash filename.txt'.  It's possible I could try the command you recommend above in the task and see if that fixes it.

However, I have another method that works in a similar fashion. I simply added BASH_ENV=$HOME/bash_profile to the top of my crontab, which has fixed the issue.  I could have sourced the profile on the cronjob line, but this is a bit clearer for other who might access the system.
