The final COPY command looks incorrect:
- the first argument %srce%WEB.bai specifies just one file, in the %srce% folder
- there should not be any wildcards in the target, if you're copying multiple files the target should just be a folder
I suspect you actually want something like
copy %srce%*.bai %trgt%
REM which copies all files with the .bai extension to the target folder
