My cron job/script fails.

I'm running mythbuntu 14.04. With previous version of Mythbuntu I have a problem, any help would be greatly appreciated!

I set up cron.daily with:

$ ls -la /etc/cron.daily
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root   183 May 12 18:00 mc2xmlUpdate

$ cat mc2xmlUpdate

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin;/home/username

# m h dom mon dow user  command
36 17   * * *   root   /home/username/mc2xml/update.sh

File update.sh:

#!/bin/sh 

/home/username/mc2xml/mc2xml
/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --refresh all --file --sourceid 1 --xmlfile /home/username/mc2xml/xmltv.xml

cp /home/username/mc2xml/xmltv.xml /media/sdc1/DataShare/

I'm getting a Exec format error when I run:

$ run-parts -v /etc/cron.daily
run-parts: executing /etc/cron.daily/mc2xmlUpdate
run-parts: failed to exec /etc/cron.daily/mc2xmlUpdate: Exec format error
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/mc2xmlUpdate exited with return code 1

Files in cron.{daily,hourly,weekly...} are not in the crontab format, but scripts or executables that are directly executed. Files in cron.d are in the crontab format. Either:

Move mc2xmlUpdate to /etc/cron.d, or
Copy/link /home/username/mc2xml/update.sh to cron.daily

Also, your PATH specification contains a ; instead of a :.
