Well, I think I messed up in my suggestion, by omitting the
CRON at the end.  My point/thought was, put the entire command
"/path/to/script.sh  ARG" in quotes.

Cron is pretty archaic, and I wondered if it was trying to
run "/path/to/script.sh" and "ARG" as two jobs instead of
one, and hanging on "ARG" since CRON is something of a 
reserved word.  IANAE, YMMV, and all that.
