When using pg_archivecleanup from the command line %r is not used.

See below for more information:

I don't use Postgres on Windows so I am going to be of limited use here.
If it me though I would investigate/do the following:

1) Does the user you are running pg_archivecleanup as have rights to the
WAL archive directory?

2) Copy the archived WAL files to another less convoluted path and see
if it is a path problem.
