I think $PATH differs in your situation from when you run it manually
and when cron does. You can add a
   export $PATH=$PATH:...
to the top of the script, where you add all directories, used
executables are in.


For debugging, you can run the script via cron:

0 1 * * 1-5     /bin/bash -x /usr/sbin/samba_backup > /tmp/bck.log 2>&1

and have a look in the log afterwards.
