Mine does that now. This is the syntax I have for one running in my
standard login. 

05 01 * * * $HOME/bin/rmCheck.sh -d 7 $HOME/Temporary

The script name is rmCheck.sh, the rest are just parameters for
rmCheck.sh. As far as I know, I didn't have to do anything special. I
assume the first line of your scripts is similar to the following:

#!/bin/sh

And the script has the executable bit set.
