Your path to the sh executable is wrong. In your interactive shell type: "which sh" to get the actual location and use that in your crontab entry. (It's probably /bin/sh)

Have you tried to run it manually? Do you see any error messages when you run it in terminal? Please also check /usr/bin/sh -n /home/hmm/all.sh to check bash script syntax.
