By putting it in backticks, you're running this 'test1' command immediately.
-f doesn't take parameters and doesn't take commands. It takes a bourne script file and nothing but a bourne script file.
nohup is redundant here, running something by at instead is at least as good as it by itself. 'at' doesn't stick around. The command just hands off your request to the at daemon then quits. the at daemon itself will run the command later, quite independent of your own session.
Without the full path, it may have no idea where test1 is. It may not have the full PATH you're used to so specify an absolute path.
Fortunately you can avoid having to create a script file to feed it a command in. Try:
It's usually not a good idea to name scripts 'test'. There's already a 'test' command that you don't want it confused with.

SHTOOL-PATH.TMP(1) GNU Portable Shell Tool SHTOOL-PATH.TMP(1)NAME
shtool-path - GNU shtool command dealing with shell path variables
SYNOPSIS
shtool path [-s|--suppress] [-r|--reverse] [-d|--dirname] [-b|--basename] [-m|--magic] [-p|--path path] str [str ...]
DESCRIPTION
This command deals with shell $PATH variables. It can find a program through one or more filenames given by one or more str arguments. It
prints the absolute filesystem path to the program displayed on "stdout" plus an exit code of 0 if it was really found.
OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
-s, --suppress
Supress output. Useful to only test whether a program exists with the help of the return code.
-r, --reverse
Transform a forward path to a subdirectory into a reverse path.
-d, --dirname
Output the directory name of str.
-b, --basename
Output the base name of str.
-m, --magic
Enable advanced magic search for ""perl"" and ""cpp"".
-p, --path path
Search in path. Default is to search in $PATH.
EXAMPLE
# shell script
awk=`shtool path -p "${PATH}:." gawk nawk awk`
perl=`shtool path -m perl`
cpp=`shtool path -m cpp`
revpath=`shtool path -r path/to/subdir`
HISTORY
The GNU shtool path command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1998 for Apache. It was later taken
over into GNU shtool.
