Everything seems to be set up fine.
Is that the bat file output?
Is the bat file providing you with a point file (pnt, csv, etc any asci
file) or fieldbook (fbk) file?
How are you importing the points?

Yes to all of the above. This is a 2004 version of LandDesktop.
The desckey file I created shows up in the list under point management,
description key manager.
Under points settings, the "use current point label styles when inserting
points" is checked.
The Points Settings, Insert Tab is set to a search path of "c:\Program
Files\land desktop 2004\data\symbol manager\cogo\"
The "match on description parameters($1, $2)" is checked.
Under Label Setting on the General Tab the styles files path i s set to
"c:\Program Files\Land Desktop 2004\Data\labels\leroy\"
The Labels, Edit Label Styles, Point Label Tab, Name is set to "active
desckeys only", Common Symbol is checked, at the bottom right of this
dialog box under Description Keys, DesKey Matching is checked, as well as
Substitute DescKey Description and Insert Deskey Symbol.
The batch file I'm running is a list of commands, for example:
NE 67 2008890.842 590014.160 IP "FND 1 W/JONES CAP"
NE 12 2001052.318 590076.756 MAG "FND INT. RD"
STA 12
BS 67
AD 14 180.1543 423.165 SPK "SET 8"
and so forth. The IP should plot as the symbol I set up in the DescKey file
as and Iron Pipe on the layer PNT_FNDirons as is also set up in the DescKey
file. The Mag nail should plot as the symbol I have set up on the layer
designated in the description key file.
