Probably a batch script error.

You need some driver technology such as the Shell, or Perl, or VBScript;
define the requirements; and then implement them.

GBAK is certainly on-topic. But the issue here is the batch script,
not GBAK. :-)

I'd tackle the issues separately:

First, define what you want GBAK to do, and get it to work without any
scripting, all by itself.

Then, code up a script that does some harmless echo commands to work
with a loop as per your requirements.

Finally, combine the two.
