As I understand, with the above command the wildcard works but the file
locking prevents you from running it as a cron job. I could not find a
solution from a cursory search in the emacs and elisp manual. However I
have an alternate solution.

If you already have an emacs instance running, you could run your agenda
export as a timer within emacs. I don't know about the exact
implementation details, but I think you can find enough hints in the
following Worg entry in org-hacks.
