The first thing your script should do is load your .profile file. Use the example I supplied, with of course the correct location of your .profile.

I am not saying this will resolve your issue but I did have a similar issue and I resolved it by first loading and executing the .profile in my script.

ATD(8)							      System Manager's Manual							    ATD(8)

NAME
atd - run jobs queued for later execution SYNOPSIS
atd [-l load_avg] [-b batch_interval] [-d] [-f] [-s] DESCRIPTION
atd runs jobs queued by at(1). OPTIONS
-l Specifies a limiting load factor, over which batch jobs should not be run, instead of the compile-time choice of 1.5. For an SMP system with n CPUs, you will probably want to set this higher than n-1. -b Specify the minimum interval in seconds between the start of two batch jobs (60 default). -d Debug; print error messages to standard error instead of using syslog(3). This option also implies -f. -f Run atd in the foreground. -s Process the at/batch queue only once. This is primarily of use for compatibility with old versions of at; atd -s is equivalent to the old atrun command. A script invoking atd -s is installed as /usr/sbin/atrun for backward compatibility. WARNING
atd won't work if its spool directory is mounted via NFS even if no_root_squash is set. FILES
/var/spool/cron/atjobs The directory for storing jobs; this should be mode 700, owner daemon. /var/spool/cron/atspool The directory for storing output; this should be mode 700, owner daemon. /etc/at.allow, /etc/at.deny determine who can use the at system. SEE ALSO
at(1), atrun(1), cron(8), crontab(1), syslog(3), at.deny(5), at.allow(5). BUGS
The functionality of atd should be merged into cron(8). 2009-11-14 ATD(8)
