Issue with batch for statement

Really need some help with this, I've created a batch file to clear the content of old SEP definitions, i managed to get this to work but now the last for statement is asking for more?

I cannot see why its doing this, it looks completed yet its still asking - running from cmd (removing the extra %) and straight from a batch is just doesn't work.

definfo.dat content

[DefDates]

CurDefs=20141001.002



    cd C:\currentdefs
    for /f "skip=1" %%H IN (definfo.dat) do @set cver=%%H
    for /f "tokens=1,2 delims==" %%i in ("%cver%") do set var1=%%j
    for /d %%i in (“C:\currentdefs\*") do if /i not "%%~nxi"=="%var1%" del /s /q /f "%%i"

if this is your actual code, you have a problem with a typographical quote sign: “C:\currentdefs\*" compare the opening and closing quotes!
