Ok, here's the problem. The quoting is wrong in the invokation of
pl2bat. Both arguments to pl2bat got bungled into one misformed arg. I 
need to figure out how to invoke pl2bat from the command line with 
corrected quoting. The command we're using now, that produces the 
bungled last line above is:

pl2bat -n "-x -S """%0""" --build_bat %*" -o "-x -S """%0""" --build_bat 
%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9" < Build > Build.bat

It looks like it is trying to expand %*" -o "-x -S """% as an evironment 
var. Maybe an extra space after %*:

pl2bat -n "-x -S """%0""" --build_bat %* " -o "-x -S """%0""" 
--build_bat %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 " < Build > Build.bat

Otherwise, I'm not sure how to quote the percent symbol (%%* doesn't 
work). I've posted a message over on alt.msdos.batch about this.

Meanwhile, maybe the above command will produce a valid Build.bat file?
