Overwriting in batch mode

I copy files into a directory, convert to jpg and then move into directories based on date using exiftool. The script appears below. Occasionally there is a duplicate file so the jpg exists in root and in the directory structure. If a file exists then I get "files weren't updated due to errors". Is there anyway to get it to overwrite so the root directory is always cleaned out?    

Code:

=========================================
d:
cd \Remote_Backups\X-Ray\
nconvert -D -keepfiledate -out jpeg D:\Remote_Backups\X-Ray\Images\*.tif
cd images
D:\Remote_Backups\X-Ray\exiftool.exe "-Directory<FileModifyDate" -d "%%Y/%%m/%%Y-%%m-%%d" "*_G.jpg"
D:\Remote_Backups\X-Ray\exiftool.exe "-Directory<FileModifyDate" -d "%%Y/%%m/%%Y-%%m-%%d/rejects" "*_R.jpg"

You could try this to add a number to the name of duplicate files:

Code:

exiftool.exe "-filename<FileModifyDate" -d "%%Y/%%m/%%Y-%%m-%%d/%%%%f%%%%-c.%%%%e" "*_G.jpg"
