Cron doesn't know where your executables are probably, in this case ldapsearch i guess.
Add the path where ldapsearch is or use absolute path to ldapsearch tool.

First couple of lines of your script, change it to see what going on.

#!/bin/ksh -x
exec 2>>/path/to/log.log
rest of the code

Also please use code tags while posting code.
