A batch file?

The batch processor has a special meaning for the '%' character. It is 
used to refer to the environment variable. You must protect it somehow.

Renaming your .bat to .cmd helps a lot. The NT command processor will 
take the '%' literaly unless it really finds a matching environment 
variable.
