scons.bat is a bat script; use this if you are using cmd.exe as your shell.
 scons (no extension) is a python script; use that if you are using a
Unix-like shell (cygwin, mingw, etc.) - it uses the Unix hash-bang
convention to get itself interpreted by python.  From the above, it looks
like you are trying to use scons.bat from a Unix-like shell (note the error
is from a shell trying to parse a @REM statement, which is a cmd.exe thing).
