running ssh in crontab

Hello,

I want to run a script by crontab.
When I start toe script in a terminal window, it works pretty well. When I
try
to run it by a cron job, I get the message:
Usage: ssh [options] host [command]
triggered by the following line in the script:
ssh $SECHOST "cd /export/qip; tar xf trans.tar; rm /export/qip/named/*.jnl"
The variable SECHOST is set in the script (SECHOST=$HOSTNAME-sec).

How can I change the script to run it by a cron job?

Thanks in advance!
Best regards!
Andreas
