"not running" is not a useful problem
description. Is "cron" not running the job,
or is the job getting run but not working?

With my weak psychic powers, I can't see
what's in "/exp_bkp/output.log". Have you
looked at it? You might also save the error
output:

2>/exp_bkp/error.log

Add the whole path of the sh command to your crontab line. Cron don`t know the PATH variable.
