Looks good when I run it from a terminal. I pu the following in crontab:

1-59/2  *       * * *   export DISPLAY=0:0; /usr/bin/xfdesktop -reload
1-59/2  *       * * *   export DISPLAY=0:1; /usr/bin/xfdesktop -reload

I get an error on the second one:
(xfdesktop:20837): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

That although it works. I will still have to see in the long run if this
realy does the word 'random' any good. The list is 24000+ long and with
others I noticed that it was not really random. It picked some pictures
much more then others and some it did not at all. Probably because the
list was too long. :-)

Thanks again.
