You may need to do some 'creative quoting'.  Try backslash escaping
the quotes in the script.  Or put it in a script and have the crontab
call that script.

I've generally had more luck calling a script than putting complex
commands in the crontab; some versions of cron over the years have
been known to just break on whitespace, w/o taking account of quotes
et al....
