very simple script not working inside crontab


Hello all

i made a simple script that takes users from some domain groups and add them to a local group, when i run it manually it run flawess, but when i set the script to run in the crontab the "for" string doesnt seen to run

Code:
* * * * * /root/add_users.sh


#!/bin/bash
#
#
getent group |awk -F':' '/domain-group-1/{print $4}' > /tmp/users
getent group |awk -F':' '/domain-group-2/{print $4}' >> /tmp/users
getent group |awk -F':' '/domain-group-3/{print $4}' >> /tmp/users


 sed 's/,/\n/g'  /tmp/users > /tmp/users2


for i in `cat /tmp/users2`
do
{
usermod -a -G localgroup $i
}
done
/var/log/cron shows the script as being run every minute

I'd set the PATH at the start of the script.

Or specify the /full/path/to any commands used in the script.
