cmd.exe has some issues with shell redirection and pipes if the file is not an executable program or a batch file.

Wrap your sample script using pl2bat, and that error goes away.

Hope this helps with your original problem as well... Sample output: 

C:\S\temp>test.bat > test.txt

C:\S\temp>type test.txt
 Volume in drive C is Main
 Volume Serial Number is 280A-19E0
