We use a very similar program at our site to increase the ulimit.
You must edit the file /etc/rc.d/cron and insert a line before the 
invocation of cron to set a new ulimit.  Our file is as follows:

#	@(#)cron	1.1	/sccs/src/cmd/sadmin/etc/rc.d/s.cron
#	Start cron demon

ulimit 240000
/etc/cron

This will fix you problem.
