Questions:

  * Is this installed in the crontab of the 'pi' user?

  * Have you tried that exact command on the command line - e.g. copying 
and pasting and ensuring it works?

  * On my system at least the binary is called 'pd' rather than 
'puredata' - have you verified this is the correct binary?

  * By default cron is often missing important environment variables 
such as PATH. Try specifying the full path to your puredata binary. You 
can find this out: `which puredata` or `which pd`.

Cheers,

Chris.
