Actually, according to the error, it cannot find the file for
input/output. Check the @ symbol for compatibility in DOS 8.3 naming
schemes (never used it myself) and I would also make sure you are
specifying full hierarchial pathnames to your logs. If the @ sign needs to
be escaped, or is causing problems, you could just ren the file to
binlog.log or some such.

Hope this helps!
