[OpenAFS] Automated backups

I have a working backup script that I call daily and does everything I want
(excluding the coffee brewing routine, still need to add that). However, I'm a
bit hesitant to drop it into a crontab somewhere because it wants me to be
logged in as an AFS admin, and although I'm quite happy to have daemons
running with daemon-specific (mostly-read-only) privs and automated token
renewal, I'm not so happy to do this for admin access.

The script consists of simple invocations of vos and backup. What's the best
way to run these from a crontab?

OBTW, I'm using Heimdal if that makes a difference.
