It is a shame you are not running Vim, but that is another story ...

I do the following for DOS batch/cmd files:

--langdef=dosbatch
--langmap=dosbatch:.cmd,.bat
--regex-dosbatch=/^:([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/l,label/i
--regex-dosbatch=/set[ ]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/v,variable/i

C:\Vim\Tools\ctags.exe -f - --format=2 --excmd=pattern --fields=nks
--sort=yes  --language-force=dosbatch --dosbatch-types=lv
"D:\appdev\projects\HandiWeb\bin\gendb9.cmd"

So you have to add the types you want to the command line:
--dosbatch-types=lv 

Notice I defined l, label and v, variable above.

So yours would be the same as mine.

HTH,
