Part of the problem is that DOS doesnt allow the semicolon to delimit multiple commands. I made a little bit of progress by changing every 'cd "%s"; ...' to 'cd "%s" & ...'. At that point, dvipng starts complaining about the dvifile not existing. The frustrating part is that I can copy that exact command into a dos prompt and dvipng processes the dvi file just fine. I'm about ready to plead insanity.
