'shroud' is actually a batch file that calls the real shroud.ex* and DOS 
has a nasty habit of not transferring control back to a calling batch 
file after another has been run. i.e. in your case it means that control 
isn't returned to your script when shroud quits.

You have to tell it to return control by using the DOS 'call' command:
     @echo off
     call shroud -clear -out %2 %1
     ecw.exe -bor %2
