The file can not be found in any directory in $LOAD_PATH when cron  
runs the ruby process. It works when you run init.rb from the same  
directory because "." is in the $LOAD_PATH. Try:

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/QuickBaseClient" # __FILE__ is the  
current source file

Another tip -- files are usually named like this: quick_base_client.rb
