Local System should have rights to shutdown the local
machine unless someone took away the administrator group's rights to shutdown
the machine. Doing it remotely would require granting shutdown privs for the
machine account of the machine running the AT service on the security policy of
the remote machine.

Commands invoked by the at command use the user context specified in services (as Alain pointed out), which is by default Local System
So if you use the at command you have two possibilities.
1) Change the 'Log on as' for the Task Scheduler to another user context
2) Add the necessary user right to Local System Account (provided you do not need access to another machine.)
To invoke a script under another user context you can use the runas command.
