Python not able to find existing file?

Hello all,

I have a whole load of files where a particular layer has to be deleted and placed into a new folder as a DXF. The odd thing is I had it working perfectly earlier however when I went back to run it I noticed the command line was full of errors saying the file could not be found, but stranger than that, a copy of all my files were made in the destination folder and the desired files with the removed layers were left in the origin folder.

So the code I used was:

import os
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import Rhino

path = rs.BrowseForFolder()
saveloc = rs.BrowseForFolder()
layer = "Layer 01"
extension = ".dxf"

# Create file list
files = [f for f in os.listdir(path)]
#print(files)


for each in files:
    #path = each;
    rs.DocumentModified(False)
    rs.Command('_-Open {} _Enter'.format(each))
    if layer: rs.PurgeLayer(layer)
    file = '"' + saveloc + "\\" + each +'"'
    #rs.Command('_SelAll -Export {} _Enter'.format(path))
    rs.Command("_SelAll _-Export {} _Enter".format(file))

So it seems to me the file path is identical to the location of the file - am I missing something here?
