Have you tried a bunch of 'start' commands in the same batch script? i.e.

start exp user/[Email Address Removed] full=y file=whatever
start exp user/[Email Address Removed] full=y file=whatever
start /WAIT exp user/[Email Address Removed] full=y file=whatever

the trick is to put your longest running export as the last one...then the
batch script will finish when the last one finishes.

Cheers
