Your problem is that COMMAND.COM  completes it's FOR command before continuing
 to process the rets of the .BAT file. That means, in a directory with fx. 20
 files 20 GOTO DoIt's are executed within the FOR statement, and on exit from
 the FOR, the 'program-counter' has been changed to DoIt
That is: ONLY THE *LAST* GOTO IS ACTUALLY PERFORMED!
And the %%f variable exists only within the FOR-statement, hence your problem!

A solution is to break your file into two:


:Main
cd scene
for %%f in (*.*) do call doit.bat %%f
cd ..
 
and :

<doit.bat>

cd..
trace scene\%1  
copy scene\%1 traced
del scene\%1
cd scene

<end>

This should do the trick!
