cron uses sh to run all commands; Ensure that the scripts have #!/usr/bin/tcsh on the first line.
Plus cron does not use your standard environment, so you may have to specify or source environment variables in your scipt
Finally, cron sends any output and error messages to you as a mail message (unless you've explicitly redirected output to a log or to /dev/null), so check your mail for more details of the problem.
