This is very strange, which was the first thing I ran.

root@server [/usr/local/sphinx/cron]# which php
/usr/local/bin/php

root@server [/usr/local/sphinx/cron]# head ../etc/vbulletin-sphinx.php

#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php

/*
Set $myforumroot to the absolute path to your forum directory.
Example:
$myforumroot = '/home/username/public_html';
*/
$myforumroot = '/home/USERNAME/public_html'; //<-- changed this one

More craziness, if I change it to "/usr/bin/php" - I get the following...

root@server [/usr/local/sphinx/cron]# ./delta_norotate.sh

using config file '/usr/local/sphinx/etc/vbulletin-sphinx.php'...
