Trying to make a catalog in the command

I am trying to create a script to my file manager program that will allow a catalog to be generated using the calibredb. It doesn't seem to be working. I have two scripts one is for a book list and the other is labeled as a catalog.

Could someone please let me know what I am doing wrong?

The goal is to create a catalog of the library that I have selected.
My program has this command listed as "book list" and I end up with a "catalog.csv" with headers only, no books.

"C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibredb.exe" catalog "{sourcepath$}Catalog.csv"

The following script is named "catalog" and I never seem to find a catalog after it runs.

calibredb.exe catalog "C:/Users/Robin/Documents".csv --with-library={sourcepath$}

I think the .csv should be inside the quotes

calibredb.exe catalog "C:/Users/Robin/Documents.csv" --with-library={sourcepath$}

or

calibredb.exe catalog "C:/Users/Robin/Documents/CalCat.csv" --with-library={sourcepath$}
