I once had problems with 'at' versus 'cron'. Cron jobs worked fine, at jobs didn't. Tured out that it was a priority issue. By default 'at' starts jobs with a low priority.
Try putting the jobs in a higher que with at -q: (from 'man at') Queues with higher letters run with increased niceness If thats the problem, the other thing you can do is start the process with a higher value via nice.
