Question : IF / CALL Dos Batch help

Here I'm sure is a simple one for anybody that has the most novice experience with dos batch script.

why is it I get "The Syntax of the command is incorrect" for the following:

if exist \\server\zlnk\NETWRK\UPDATE\RUNUPD\update.bat call \\server\zlnk\NETWRK\UPDATE\RUNUPD\update.bat

If I remove the "RUNUPD" from both paths I do not get an error???  However, I need the batch to look at the specific path.

This command happens at the end of a batch to check for "updates" that are to be made to the users PC or share.

I am giving this low points as I'm sure it's simple, but unfortunately with my indigestion suffering brain I can't fathom what could possibly be wrong...

Code Snippet:

1:	if exist \\server\zlnk\NETWRK\UPDATE\RUNUPD\update.bat call \\server\zlnk\NETWRK\UPDATE\RUNUPD\update.bat
