[solved] cron refuses to run a command

Question

For some reason, cron just won't run a one particular command.
Here's my crontab:
*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/modprobed_db store &> /dev/null
*/1 * * * * touch ~/.config/modopodo &> /dev/null
The second command is there just to check cron is working. And yes, it works. Each minute it creates that file.
But the first one just won't work.
I moved it underneath the second command - no difference.
I changed cronie to dcron - no difference.
But when I try this command in terminal - it works perfectly fine.
Why?

Answer 1

@WonderWoofy, that is a good point. I installed the new version and now it seems to work with cron.
However, I am still puzzled why the last one didn't work in cron, while it worked in terminal.
