Yeah, read the man-page. It says :

FILES
     /var/at/jobs            directory containing job files
     /var/at/spool           directory containing output spool files
     /var/run/utmp           login records
     /var/at/at.allow        allow permission control
     /var/at/at.deny         deny permission control
     /var/at/jobs/.lockfile  job-creation lock file
