I am assuming that you mean you get no error message.  (As opposed to the 
error message simply says "no".)

In that case, what, exactly, happens?  What, exactly, do you mean by "can no 
be accessed"?

Note that I do see a problem in the batch file which might be the cause, but 
it would "fail" the same way on every system, not just this one:

You have the values of PFDATA and PFDIR switched, since PFDATA is the drive, 
and PFDIR, as the name implies, is the directory.
