I think its the colon that is throwing your batch file off.

The colon is an illegal label character. with regards to batch files, a
DOS "label" is a word or a series of numbers/characters used to identify
a part of a batch file. Some people use a single colon to place remarks
in a batch file, but since DOS uses this to identify its labels and
those lines will be read, I suggest the single colon not be used, except
of course, as a label precursor
ie:
goto end
:end
