I don't really know where condor_exec.bat came from, but I have a strong 
feeling that it's the default name for a condor executable when you 
specify transfer_executable = false.

I regularly run batch files on my grid without issue.  Here's how I do 
it in my submission file:

--- submit file ---

universe = vanilla

# submitting from a Windows machine
executable = full:\path\on\submit\computer\to\batch\file\.bat
# and from a Linux one
# executable = /full/path/to/batch/file.bat

# Optional input files (not needed for your simple test batch file)
# transfer_input_files = C:\some\input\file,D:\another\file
# transfer_input_files = /some/input/file,/yet/another/file

--- EOF ---

That's it.  From the manual: "By default, the file specified in the 
executable command and any file specified in the input command (for 
example, stdin) are transferred."

What was wrong with your sub files was that you were not sending 
anything along with the job to execute.  You need to transfer the batch 
file (our "executable"), otherwise there's nothing for Condor to run on 
the client machine when the job is started.
