Are you sure that this option was parsed by opendmarc-reports at any time
in the past? Looking through some old versions I can't find any hint that
the behaviour of the reports script was changed in this respect.

Opendmarc-reports creates temporary files in the current directory. It
seems the user which is used to run opendmarc-reports cannot write to the
directory where you are starting the script. In your Cron script you need
to change to a directory where the user has write permissions, e.g. the
same place where the history file is written, or one of the temporary
directories.
