I had a same problem while trying with savepnpc. I run the commands with:precmd: 'cmd /c E:\backup\program_pre.cmd';pstcmd: 'cmd /c E:\backup\program_pst.cmd';which worked for me.

For your program path includes a blank character the trick is the correct quoting of this.
Two ways should work for you:
a)
precmd: cmd /c "C:\\Program Files\\Legato\\nsr\\res\\PDB-stop.cmd";
pstcmd: cmd /c "C:\\Program Files\\Legato\\nsr\\res\\PDB-start.cmd";

b)
precmd: "\"C:\\\\Program Files\\\\Legato\\\\nsr\\\\res\\\\PDB-stop.cmd\"";
pstcmd: "\"C:\\\\Program Files\\\\Legato\\\\nsr\\\\res\\\\PDB-start.cmd\"";

(unless there is a typo in the numerous backslashes)
