You are probably making some assumptions in your batch file
that are not valid, e.g.
- that the account used by the batch file is authorised to kill your process
- that the commands used in the batch file are located in one of the
   folders described by the path.

Start with something simple, then build up on it. Here is an example:

@echo off
echo %date% %time% UserName=%UserName% >> c:\test.log
echo Path=%path% >> c:\test.log
c:\tools\kill -F SomeProcess 1>>c:\test.log 2>>c:\test.err

Now have a look at the two log files and all will become clear!
