That also means the script itself is dying because it doesn't have permission to do whatever it's supposed to be doing.

Try logging out and then viewing the page as a guest, and you'll see what I mean.

Keep in mind I haven't personally used his hack (I'm using my own), but I'm making some assumptions. Have you searched the hack thread to see if anybody else has had your problem?

You can't cron the script itself because PHP isn't a shell scripting language. Ask your host how you can cron PHP scripts via the php executable.
