I've created an custom clamscan(clamav) in bash and when I run it in my shell everyhing is fine, but if I run it in a cron, it can't create the log file.

This are the errors:

1. /root/Scripts/clamscan : line 9: /var/log/clamscan/weekly/clamscan-Test-2014-09-16.log: No such file or directory
2. /bin/bash: /root/Scripts/clamscan: Permission denied
3. Also I get emails from cron asking if it's ok that this is a mail with no header? Or something.
4. Before the "if it's ok mail" I get an empty email, with no message

If I run the script in a shell, it creates the log file no problem.

Questions:

1. What do I have to do with my bash script so it can write the appropriate files?
2. Why do I get these errors?

Here is the script:

#!/bin/bash
FILENAMEDATE=$(date +"%F")

/usr/bin/clamscan -i -r --log=/var/log/clamscan/weekly/clamscan-Test-$FILENAMEDATE.log /home/Username/Downloads >/dev/null 2>/dev/null

if [ $? -gt 0 ];
then
SUBJECT="Virus Report for `uname -n`, `date +%m-%d-%Y`"
mail -s "$SUBJECT" 'Email' < /var/log/clamscan/weekly/clamscan-Test-$FILENAMEDATE.log
fi

Here is /etc/crontab:

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO="Email"
