Hi Analog,

The point-at feature aims the camera to the Hot Point of the object. So, if the Hot Point is not centered on the actual geometry, the camera won't point in the right place either. The Hot Point can become off-center of you are creating a spline object and then change the default sweep length.

With your object selected, go to the Edit pull-down menu and select "Center Hot Point". Then the point at behavior should work just fine. If it doesn't, post back and we'll get it figured out.
