A couple of questions, out of curiosity:
Are you stuffing this in /etc/crontab or are you running
crontab -e as root?
Does:
/export/bin/backup /dev/hdc /dev/hde
run properly when you type that in the command line?
Finally, It might have run, but not delivered the mail. Check
in /var/spool/yourMTAspooler
