PATH used by cron -- per crontab(5):

     Several environment variables are set up automatically by the cron(8)
     daemon.  SHELL is set to /bin/sh, PATH is set to /usr/bin:/bin, and
     LOGNAME and HOME are set from the /etc/passwd line of the crontab's
     owner.  HOME, PATH and SHELL may be overridden by settings in the
     crontab; LOGNAME may not.

and setfib is:

g1-227(9.1-P)[1] which setfib
/usr/sbin/setfib
g1-227(9.1-P)[2] 

Looks as if overriding PATH (in crontab) is least disruptive change
that will work.

Peace,
david
