But all those files ARE in binary format. However, they've all been altered by 
MacBinary so that both the data and resource forks transfer. Try running these 
files through StuffIt using the Decode BinHex in the OTHER menu or use BinHex4 
on them.  BatchBinary MAY not be able to handle BinHex4 format.
