I'm tring to used the 'publish at' field to do a delayed publish, I have a development server that I've been working on and everything goes as planned, I set a publish date/time and the page will publish properly. But when I go to the live site to do this the page will never get published.
I did some checking on the live site and even if I set the publish time just a few minutes ahead the page will still not publish. The only difference I can see between my development site and the live site is that one is on a shared hosting space.
It may be worth trying to set the baseUrl for scheduled tasks in /Config/umbracoSettings.config like this;
<scheduledTasks baseUrl="OptionalCustomBaseUrl.com/umbraco/">
<!-- add tasks that should be called with an interval (seconds) -->
<!-- <task log="true" alias="test60" interval="60" url="http://localhost/umbraco/test.aspx"/>-->
although in versions later than 7.2.7 you need to specify the "umbracoApplicationUrl (also in /Config/umbracoSettings.config) like this;
umbracoApplicationUrl: defines the Umbraco application url, ie how the server should reach itself. By default, Umbraco will guess that url from the first request made to the server. Use that setting if the guess is not correct (because you are behind a load-balancer, for example). Format is: "http://www.mysite.com/umbraco" ie it needs to contain the scheme (http/https), complete hostname, and umbraco path.

Just a quick Sugestion. Have you checked the time set on the server? The server may be in a different time zone than you?
@DateTime.Now.ToString() should output the date/time of the server in razor.
Any development on this? I have the same issue.
If nobody can answer this then just close it.
Hey Martin, If your still having the same issue, it might be worth posting it onto the Umbraco issue tracker to help get it fixed.

From the documentation;
umbracoApplicationUrl: defines the Umbraco application url, ie how the server should reach itself. By default, Umbraco will guess that url from the first request made to the server. Use that setting if the guess is not correct (because you are behind a load-balancer, for example).

It seems this property could fix your problem. See also; http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-5391
Hope this helps!
