What are the permissions and ownership of the script you are trying to run?

Does your server run your scripts as yourself or as a generic user like "nobody"? (ie does it have phpsuexec). If it runs as a generic user you'll probably need to call phplist via a web URL which you can do from crontab with a crontab line like "GET http://yoursite.com/phplist/whateveryouneedtorun".
