Batch Script Logging and it runs double?

I wrote a batch script to make a backup of my Thunderbird client on Windows 7. It works perfectly, but I am having issues with the logging part.

Essentially, I would like it to see what is going on in the command window when it runs, as well as to log all output to a .log file.

The problem: It logs to a file, but runs without anything in the command window. Then after it completes, it runs AGAIN, but this time displays what's happening in the command window.

Included: The script. The log file.

Script:

@ECHO ON
rem
call :Logit>>%Desktop%'%DATE:~7,2%.%DATE:~4,2%.%DATE:~-4%-ThunderbirdBackup'.log
:Logit

echo Backup Start at = %date% %time%
echo Beginning Automatic Backup and Encryption for Thunderbird
echo This will take approximately 45 seconds to complete

echo Killing Thunderbird.exe
taskkill /F /IM thunderbird.exe

echo Give the computer a moment to complete task
timeout /T 3

echo Zipping to Desktop
'C:Program Files7-Zip7z.exe' a -t7z %Desktop%'%DATE:~7,2%.%DATE:~4,2%.%DATE:~-4%-ThunderbirdBackup'.7z %AppData%ThunderbirdProfiles -m0=lzma2 -mx3 -mmt=8 -mhe=on

echo Backup Complete at = %date% %time%


Thank you for any assistance you cold lend.
