[NTLUG:Discuss] why is cron user different from user

RH 7.3 - if that makes a difference.
I have run into this on different systems, so I don't think the distro 
makes a difference but I could be wrong.
User ABC set her/his crontab to start a script, and the script creates 
some files.
User ABC runs a script from the command line to "mv" those files, and 
gets a "Permission denied" message.
What's up with that?
