Setting FUEL_ENV for a crontab

Question

I'm trying to setup a cron for a task to run under FuelPHP while setting the environment.

/bin/bash FUEL_ENV=development /usr/local/bin/php /home/net/###DIR###/oil refine TaskName 2>&1

However I get the following error everytime.

/bin/bash: FUEL_ENV=development: No such file or directory

I'm not an expert at setting up cron jobs but is there something I am missing here? (The task on it's own run from the command line using the same command works

/bin/bash -c "FUEL_ENV=development; /usr/local/bin/php /home/net/###DIR###/oil refine TaskName 2>&1"
