Variables in a Batch File need to use two % signs, whereas the command-line only needs one.
eg.
for /f %%i in (C:\Deletes.txt) do @erase %%i

From what I know you can not access another file while you are running a batch file. Maybe you need a command to somehow merge the Deletes.txt entries into the batch file. Try looking for a batch command to read/ open the Deletes.txt file.

you need to either change the Path statement to include the directory of your batch files/scrips or do a CD in the batch file to the location of the executable that u are using in the batch file

Do you get any error message when the batch file runs?
Check your permissions. chmod go+x filename.txt should work.
