This output file path is of course wrong.  Drop the local.

I changed the cron entry to be one long command with ;'s in order to force the
sequential ordering.  Also I changed latestheads to latestrss which now takes
1 command line argument that names the RSS feed to pull from.  You'll notice
that the rants are now on the front page, generated using latestrss rants_5.
