You may be relying on an environment variable to tell tiffsplit where
to find the libtiff library. I know I do, for Solaris, with the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Cron jobs may not get the same
environment variables your login session does.
Bjorn Brox posted a solution back in May, that involves changing the
makefile so that all the TIFF utilities know where to find libtiff
without relying on environment variables.

Subject: tiffsplit in a cronjob

hello tiffnuts.
i have a cronjob running every morning using the tiffsplit command (from
tifflib on DEC unix) to count the number of files in several 100 multi-page
tiffs that are transferred into our storage. then i count the number of
"xfiles" formed.
problem: i always get a count of 0. however when i run the same cronjob
manually on the exact same files, it splits the files and counts the xfiles
accurately. any ideas why? or is there a more efficient way to figure out
how many files are in a multipage tiff?
TIA, humzah
