Hi Mark, My reading of the at(1) man page (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=at&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE&format=html) implies that the -f option is used to specify a file containing the commands you wish to execute, not the actual commands themselves. In that case, create a temporary file with commands like '/path/script 20 test', etc. in it and then use "at -f" to run the commands in that file at the specified time.
