Maybe running as root is actually not enough :-(
I don't know how to fix this but it is likely that this does not
establish a "session" (or "seat") and then dbus is not running and
then
nothing that depends on it can work. Maybe running the cron job as a
normal user? I don't know how you can convince the system that you
really are allowed to do all this... < and if selinux is involved, maybe you can look at

No selinux thank Dev ('getenforce' returns command not found).
I was running 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' (no /var/log/[messages|secure])
when I saw the CRON and rtkit-daemon messages in my opening post. Would
expect to have seen an entry there for any other problem at the time.

Thanks again, John.
