batch syntax error(s) - if-statement

Question

I am trying to write a batch that will copy the names of the profile folders to a txt file, then take each line (profile) and query ad with it. the two problems I seem to be having are:
it says there is a syntax error in the way I wrote my for loop
if I break it down for debugging, the loop seems to just set the variable over and over, then use the final value only to perform the commands in the subscripts
#echo off
#setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
pushd "c:\documents and settings"
mkdir c:\pulls
copy \\mint\testfolder\forfiles.exe c:\pulls\
copy \\mint\testfolder\psexec.exe c:\pulls\
rem call \\mint\testfolder\copy.bat c:\pulls\
set queryid=
set checkid=
rem finds all profiles that have been logged into in the last 18 months
c:\pulls\forfiles.exe /p "c:\documents and settings\" /d -540 /c "cmd /c if #ISdir==true deltree #isdir"
dir/b > "c:\documents and settings\profiles.txt"
%queryid% > "c:\documents and settings\tmp.txt"
rem active directory query
:adquery
for /f "tokens=*" %%n IN ("c:\documents and settings\profiles.txt") do (
set queryid=%%n
call :sub
)
goto :end
:sub
c:\pulls\psexec.exe \\computer-u domain\user -p password dsquery user -name %queryid% > "c:\documents and settings\tmp.txt"
set /p checkid= < "c:\documents and settings\tmp.txt"
del "c:\documents and settings\tmp.txt"
::checks to see if variable is an empty string
if [!%checkid%==!] goto :process1
if [%checkid%==] %queryid% >> c:\documents and settings\final.txt
goto :eof
:process1
c:\pulls\psexec.exe \\computer -u domain\user -p password dsquery user -name %queryid% -desc *termed* > "c:\documents and settings\tmp.txt"
set /p checkid= < "c:\documents and settings\tmp.txt"
del "c:\documents and settings\tmp.txt"
::checks to see if variable is an empty string
if [!%checkid%==!] goto :amending
if [%checkid%==] goto :process2
goto :eof
:process2
c:\pulls\psexec.exe \\computer -u domain\user -p password dsquery user -name %queryid% -disabled > "c:\documents and settings\tmp.txt"
set /p checkid= < "c:\documents and settings\tmp.txt"
del "c:\documents and settings\tmp.txt"
::checks to see if variable is an empty string
if [!%checkid%==!] goto :amending
goto :eof
:amending
%checkid% >> "c:\documents and settings\final.txt"
goto :eof
:end
notepad.exe "c:\documents and settings\final.txt"
del c:\pulls /y
del "c:\documents and settings\profiles.txt"
del "c:\documents and settings\final.txt"
rem copies selected profiles
rem c:\pulls\copy.bat

I haven't traced your entire logic to see if you have any other problems. But I have identified the problem with your FOR /F loop.
You are trying to read a file, but your IN() clause is double quoted, so it is interpreted as a string instead of a file name. (Type FOR /? for help on FOR command). You want to use double quotes because your path includes spaces, but you need it to be interpreted as a file name - that is what the USEBACKQ option is for!
for /f "usebackq tokens=*" %%n IN ("c:\documents and settings\profiles.txt") do ...
