You might try creating an empty file "/usr/spool/at/at.deny".  The man
page for "at" refers to the allow and deny lists & says these files are
in /usr/spool/at/cron/at.*list in the text of the man page and in
/usr/spool/at/at.*list in the FILES section of the man page.  However,
if you do a "strings" on /usr/bin/at and grep for "deny" it shows 
/usr/spool/at/at.deny. 

I think the problem may be that if there is no allow or deny list then
your job isn't run.  And, I suspect the man page is incorrect as to
what files are really being checked.

Hope this helps!
