You need to use delayed expansion. You have already enabled it, you just need to replace your %'s with !'s

echo on  
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion  
for /f %%x in ('dir /b C:\backup_dir') do (  
SET test=%%~nx
if "!test:~0,6!"=="kdc_db" (set DUMP=%%x)  
if "!test:~0,6!"=="kdc_ke" (set KEYS=%%x)  
)  
echo %DUMP%  
echo %KEYS%
