Oops - sorry! Aside from being entirely wrong, it was
a great suggestion. :-(
Apologies for the mis-direction.

Hmm, that's odd, it should not work. From the crontab
documentation
(man page):
"Note: The day of a command's execution can be
specified by two fields
-- day of month, and day of week. If both fields are
restricted (ie,
aren't *), the command will be run when _either_
field matches the
current time. For example,
``30 4 1,15 * 5'' would cause a command to be run at
4:30 am on the 1st
and 15th of each month, plus every Friday."
So the example below would run every Saturday plus
8th-14th of the
month, not what you want.
A quick search of Google gives you something better,
like this:
0 1 8-14 * * [ "$(date +\%a)" == "Sat" ] &&
script_with_no_date_logic
