'AT: Bad year' error in Irix 4.0.5E

I want to schedule some commands with 'at' on a SGI Indigo running irix 4.0.5.
When i give the command : #at 16:00 /usr/bin/blahblah i get a "at: bad year error". The command is exactly according the man page.
Also other forms, like 'at now + 1 hour', 'at 16:00 Mar 18', etc gives the same error.
Does anybody have any idea what is wrong ?

Thanks
