Also at now is not a valid way to test crontab entries particularly these ones with escaped percent symbols.
You are better off just writing a script that updates/appends to a logfile and scheduling it for 5 or 10 mins in the future and waiting for cron to run it.
eg if the current time was:
Tue, Sep 03 4:25 PM
Schedule a test for 4:30 PM :
Wait 5 mins and check /tmp/test.log
