Okay, I have found a solution which fixes my problem. During the first part of the batch file process, the following steps are performed for each track:
C:\ICR2\TRACKS>if not exist midohio\qualace.stg copy midohio\qual.stg midohio\qualace.stg
C:\ICR2\TRACKS>if not exist midohio\qualeasy.stg copy midohio\qual.stg midohio\qualeasy.stg
C:\ICR2\TRACKS>if not exist midohio\qualfast.stg copy midohio\qual.stg midohio\qualfast.stg
Apparently, all the "qualace.stg" files did not get created such that when it got to the point of modifying the file, it couldn't find the file and the operation failed.
I tried executing the patch from the the cmd window in Windows, not DOSBox. The first part of the PATCHICR.BAT file which performed all the file operations such as the one above was successful but then failed when it got to the patch.exe file. Then I ran PATCHICR.BAT from within DOSBox. The full patch ran successfully then. So it was the combination of the first part running in cmd window, then running it again under DOSBox such that the patch.exe portion ran which is what worked for me.
