SOX: How to specify the input folder ?

I have a trouble with my SOX script.
It works like a charm as drag and drop.
But drag and drop in windows have some limitations and I can't drop my entire set of samples that I want to process.
I want to make an "input" folder in SOX directory , drag all files in to that input folder and than run the bat file for conversion.

My script looks like this:

cd %~dp0
mkdir converted
FOR %%A IN ("%~dp0/input") DO sox %%A "converted/%%~nxA" reverse silence 1 1 -40.0d reverse silence 1 1 -40.0d gain -n -1
pause

It gives me the : 

FAIL formats: can't open input file `D:\Projekty\Audio\Soft\UTILITIES\sox-14
.4.1\input': Permission denied

There are no read only files in that folder, and I am the admin user on my windows, so it should work.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it ?
