Yes, good point.  This is weird however - /bin is already included in 
$PATH.  It is included by default in /etc/profile and I also checked 
specifically for the www-data user (i.e. sudo -u www-data echo $PATH).

This did the trick - but I amended line 476 to force it to specify the 
full path of the date command.

Cheers,
