You don't need the last four, also, perhaps the ";" at the end is
crating havoc? Did you check whether the settingsare made correctly?

Your HTML mail client mangled this. Correct is:
set XDEBUG_CONFIG="idekey=netbeans-xdebug"
(or whatever netbeans wants; I've no idea whether windows can deal with
this syntax though.

Can you check with some tool from sysinternals.com that Xdebug actually
tries to make the connection? And does the simple client work? (See:
http://xdebug.org/files/debugclient-0.9.0.exe) (For that to work, you
need to not run netbeans of course).
