If exist does not work anymore in a batch file

i have a problem with a batch. It scans folders for new pdf files, print, move and delete them. It worked fine until it suddenly stopped without an error. If i type it manually into the cmd it calls "file path does not exist", but it's the correct path. I don't have any clue, maybe some can help or have the same issue.

Thank you in advance for your help.
