Ok, a correction on my side. I misread your original post. The server is complaining about a missing "entry id", not a missing batch id.
Now, while that message could be clearer, it pinpointed the problem. In the update feed you are sending, the entries you are updating are contained inside a <source> tag? Why is that? How did you create that update feed?
