One thing to keep in mind about NT's "AT" command is that it truncates
path/filenames to 8.3 when used from the commandline.

Subject: Re: CFSCHEDULE
The mysteries of the CF scheduler are many. The developers I know have
never been able to get it working properly, always the same problem, it
shows up in the list but won't
execute. I remember looking on Forums to find an answer and there seem to
be two types of people:
1) people who can't get it working
2) people for whom it works like a charm, and can't imagine it not working
I've never found an answer or a root cause. We just decided to use NT's
"AT" command to schedule things. Check out Allaire Forums, there should be
plenty of questions in the archive
like yours.
