AzCopy copy run from a batch file in Windows command prompt failure

I'm using AzCopy to copy a file from local server to Azure and coming up with the following failed operation is the command is run from a batch file. If the same command is run from the command prompt the operation is successful.

Run from a batch file - fails:

C:\ftp>AzCopy /Source:C:\ftp\ /Dest:"https://companystrg01.file.core.wind ows.net/bss?sv=2016-05-31&si=bss-supersecretstring" /S

Incomplete operation with same command line detected at the journal directory "C :\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Azure\AzCopy", do you want to resume the operation?

Choose Yes to resume, choose No to overwrite the journal to start a new operation. (Yes/No) y
