batch files Error

i created a batch file that goes and pulls data from a folder that is created on a daily basis in the following format
eg D20110429 within that folder are .pdfs that are copied to a local server.
The command line reads as follows:
cd Sierra Expidite\G148bc\web\reports\archive\D%date1%
I receive the following error:

It should drill down the the current date folder.folder presence was verified
The system cannot find the specified path.
The Syntex of the command is incorrect
I

Also within the same batch file I want to copy the above pdf data to a directory that has the days of the week

eg Monday batch files are created as .pdf in folder name D20110429 at location A
batch needs to pull all pdf info from D20110429 and copy it ti a corrisponding day of the week folder

I have attached the batch file for review

Well, if the path you want to go is a sub-dir of the current path, theres a missing dot:
cd .\Sierra Xpedite\G148BC\Web\Reports\Archive\D%date1%

Better to put brackert to paths and filenames. In case you have spaces:
copy *.* "F:\Shared Files\Daily\Earth Star\Shared Directory\Shared\dailyin\*-Pulaski.pdf"

You can't "SET DATE" to something

Also, your date parsing is wrong. Use this instead and replace %date% to %TheDate% in your script.

REM READ DATE
FOR /F "skip=1 tokens=1-4" %%A IN ('WMIC Path Win32_LocalTime Get DayOfWeek^,Day^,Month^,Year /Format:table') DO (
	IF %%A GTR 0 (
	SET DayOfWeek=%%B
	SET Month=%%C
	SET Day=%%A
	SET Year=%%D
	)
)

SET TheDate=%Year%-%Month%-%Day%-%DayOfWeek%
SET Date1=%Year%%Month%%Day%
SET Date2=%Day%
