[Koha] Fines Calculation not working

[Agnes Rivers-Moore]

I see the example CRON you sent still has the 
*KOHA_CONF=/home/liblime/kohaclone...   *and same for PERL5LIB. In your 
own database do you have these in a different path?
If your other cron jobs are working OK, than this is not an issue, but 
always check path and permissions, especially for CRON tasks.

Also I see that you have set your fines to accrue only once every 5 
days. Also you have allowed one grace day. If I am understanding that 
correctly, the system will charge $1 on the 6th day. If you have also 
set a limit of 5 days maybe that is the problem? (My own version does 
not have the 'Fine days' option so I am not sure how that is supposed to 
work.)
