You are correct about the -i switch.

Another possibility coming to me mind (if the machine the 
cronjob is running is not the local machine but remote per ssh): maybe 
chloe K is using Authentication forwarding (see the -A -a switches to 
ssh). If so, maybe the private key is only existing on the local 
machine but not on the machine the cronjob is running.
