Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: 2.5.1
PHP version: 5.3.8
MySQL version: 5.0.92-community-log
Host: Fused.com
Akeeba Backup version: 3.3.13

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue:

I have a profile which is set to take a backup of the main site DB and email the sql file to my gmail account, then delete the file. When this profile is called via Cron, the backup file is copied to my backup directory, but it is not emailed or deleted. The cli log file is attached.

When the backup of this profile is initiated via the Backend, it works 100%. The backend log file is also attached.

The "Send by email" feature will not work with the CRON backup script of Akeeba Backup 3.3.10 or later. I have tried fixing that in the latest dev release. Please try installing it on your site and run the backup again. If it still doesn't work, please send me the new log file.

Thanks for your help. I installed SVN1250 and initiated the backup via cron. Same results, sql file saved to backup directory, but not emailed. log file attached.

Ugh, that solution would have worked had I included the fixed file in the package. Sorry. Please download and install svn1251. I tested it on a fresh Joomla! 2.5.1 site and it works.
