I had the same problem. In my case it was that there were two spaces in the window title:

taskkill.exe /F /FI "WindowTitle eq Administrator:  TailingErrorLog"
                                                  ^^

Taskkill considers the command currently executed by listener.bat as part of the title. So you need to add a wildcard "*".

taskkill /F /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq Administrator: testlistener *" /T
