Please answer my question on which user's crontab used.
This is important as BaseX by default accesses its configuration files and data in the user's home directory, so if you're testing that script using user "xxx" but use "root"s crontab, you're writing to another home directory.
If so, either move to "xxx"s crontab (probably best way) or append some `sudo -u xxx ` either in your script or when calling it.
