Crontab and commands parameters

Hi all,

Once again I need your help! I have the following entry in my crontab:

## EDI secondary archiving
1 0 * * 1 /usr/sbin/decedi_arch -v -b `/sbin/date +%d%m%Y` -o
/data2/decedi/arch/`/sbin/date +%Y%m%d`.tar -c eit > /dev/null

The idea is that the parameters required by EDI archiving are self updated.
It seems to be allowed in the crontab man page, but in my case it won't
work. This is complaining about an invalid parameter value.

Any idea how to fix this?
