I tried both approaches:

1 - encapsulating the command in quotes
If I modify .crontab:
run-in-pagsh --fg date sh -c "date >> $HOME/folder/file.txt"

it outputs by mail:
Wed Dec 23 15:38:02 EST 2009

but leaves the file.txt empty

2 - encapsulating the command in a script file
in .crontab:
* * * * * run-in-pagsh --fg script script

the script file:
date >> ~/folder/file.txt

This works fine, there is not mail output, and the date is registered
in file.txt

So I guess I just should avoid having more than the name of the script
in the .crontab run-in-pgash invocation.

Cheers,
