This is the actual code I am using in CRON:

Try running it under 'strace' so you can see what file it really tried to open. e.g.
strace -o /tmp/slapcat-trace.`date +%Y%m%d%H%M` /usr/local/sbin/slapcat -f /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf -b "dc=MyDomain,dc=net" -l usr/home/gerard/LDAP_Backup/MyDomain.net.ldif
Originally, I had created a Bash script and had CRON call that script; however, when things were not working as planned, I thought that might be the problem. However, it does not appear to be so.
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Remember, this only happens when there has been several hours of inactivity; otherwise it works fine.
Do any of the paths involved in the config go through NFS or automount points?
