Executing Rails-using script using crontab

I'm trying to run a ruby script that I can run just fine using Ruby from my home directory, but that fails using cron. The beginning of the script autocheck.rb looks like this:

require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
require 'json'
require "active_record"

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
  :adapter => "postgresql",
  :encoding => "utf8",
  :database => "depot_development",
  :pool => "5",
  :username => "depot",
  :password => "fake_pwd")

The crontab looks like this:

*/15 08-17 * * 1-5 ruby /home/user/autocheck.rb

I checked the other entries here relating to cron and rvm (presuming that's the problem; I'm using rvm and ruby version 1.9.3) but I couldn't figure out the solution. Any help would be appreciated.

RVM has a command to setup schedules for you:

rvm cron command "*/15 08-17 * * 1-5" ruby /home/user/autocheck.rb
