What is this 'su' supposed to do?  AFAICS you would have to run
another script with 'su' if you really want to change user.

[%aN does not expand to anything within the cron runs]

Also, what git version(s) do you have installed?  %aN appeared in
1.5.6.4 and 1.6.0, so it is entirely possible that the $PATH within
your cronjob runs an older version which fails to expand it to
anything.
