Dave, I've found AT to be flakey at best. I haven't had your specific problem, but I have had problems where AT would only occasionally run when it was supposed to.
I don't remember if it was a specific NT patch or a version of IE explorer, but one of these will install a Scheduler utility, which I've found to be pretty reliable. If you open My Computer (or explorer) you should see a folder called Scheduled Tasks. Double-click and then use the wizard to set up a call to your batch file.
