Yes and yes. You set your script's permissions to 700 root/wheel, which means that you don't have permission to run the script. AEWP() executes tasks with root privileges, but it doesn't execute them _as_ root. If you need to do that, then you must use a wrapper that sets the uid to root. Check the archives for more information. It might be easier, though, to set the permissions to 755 instead, and put in a check for root privileges. And if that still doesn't work, then you might need to execute the shell as the task, and point the shell to the script, but I'm pretty sure you just have the permissions set incorrectly.
