[Koha] Items marked long overdue one day after due date

[Tim McMahon]

Thanks for the speedy reply.  I already have that line in the crontab. 
Are you saying I can't use the $KOHA_CRON_PATH and need to replace that 
with the actual path?  I have $KOHA_CRON_PATH defined at the beginning 
of the crontab.
