GNUcash Stock Quote Auto retrieve Ubuntu 12.04

Hi,

I have been using GNUcash for years now and very pleased with it. I was
using it on Ubuntu 10.04 / 10.10 / 11.04 & 11.10 successfully but now that
I've upgraded to 12.04 I can't get the Stock / Price Quote to automatically
update using the same script command in CRON.

Can you help?

I have the following entry in my CRONTAB settings:

gnucash --add-price-quotes /peter/Documents/gnuCash\ Datafiles/Personal\
Accounts/Personal\ Accounts > /dev/null 2>&1

This used to work absolutely fine - it has a setting for every hour Monday
to Friday.

I can't find a CRON log in my system. Is there any way to create a log file
so I can see if it's erroring.

When I type the command in a terminal window is gives this message (If I
take the /dev/null command off)

gnc.bin-Message: main: binreloc relocation support was disabled at
configure time.

Found Finance::Quote version 1.17

Can you help?

Many thanks

Peter
