I would try and use the shell helper script rather than run php directly.

So your cron entry looks like:

Shared hosts are a complete PITA.

Some shared hosts limit the version of the PHP cli your cron can access.

Another thing we found with our GeoTools module on shared hosts can be 
that the cron jobs are limited to some arbitrary time and they can be 
terminated by the shared hosting engine (CPanel, Plesk or whatever) so 
be aware that if you have a long job (like an import or loads of 
emails/workflows) then the script might get killed prematurely.
