  That batch file won't work (don't worry, I consider it Microsofts fault!).
DOS tests errorlevels by equal to or greater than the number you are testing
against.  This means in your batch file, EVERY errorlevel above and equal to 0
would 'GOTO GOOD'.  So, the correct batch file would be:

IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO HAWAII
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO BAD
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO GOOD
[etc]
