change the ">" to "&>" to get all output.
Furthermore, there might be a problem to run date in this environment. The 
path in cron is not the same as in your root account. Change the logfile 
to a fixed name and it will work.
Btw, there is no need for the logs. If you omit them you get the output 
mailed.
