cron and copying files across drives: how?

[Andrea M]

I am having a problem running a simple bash script with cron. The script 
executes and behaves as expected when run from the command line, but 
when run by cron, it fails to execute some commands.

I narrowed the problem down and found out that cron fails to copy files 
between drives; for example, the following does not work

* * * * * cp /cygdrive/c/Andrea/try.png /cygdrive/z/try.png

I should mention that the z drive is a network drive. And yes, a simple 
script containing that command does execute correctly from the prompt.

Thanks in advance
