Description of my issue:

I have several J3.4.1 sites running on a dedicated server and all use the cron backup method using:

/usr/bin/php5-cli /home/ACCOUNTNAME/public_html/cli/akeeba-backup.php

On all but one account, this works fine. On a single account however, the cron is triggered as seen in the log:

May 14 12:27:01 host CROND[32679]: (uhemonc) CMD (/usr/bin/php5-cli /home/uhemonc/public_html/cli/akeeba-backup.php)

Yet, nothing seems to be triggered, no backup occurs, no errors in backend and no emails sent to the email address set for that cron. Backend backups manually triggered work fine.

Can you suggest where to look next to see why this might be happening?
