Yay!!! Dark magic! Odd. According to apt-file, the executable for kate is where you show it, /usr/bin. There are plenty of other useful executables there. So that should be in your path. However, crontab may clear the path (or not inherit it). Have you exported it? In any case, using the fully qualified path is usualy a good practice. I'm glad that solved your problem.
