See discussion at https://community.jboss.org/message/858108#858108 for background.

The problem is the 'cd' behavior discussed in my comment. A 'cd' in batch mode seems to have triggered the CLI validating the location (or some other op against the address), which fails since the previous batch step that created the location hasn't executed.

Would it be better to simply accept the address in batch mode, or somehow be a bit smarter?
