Sounds like while saving the autoexec.bat your editor replaced 
the carriage return/linefeed with plain carriage return as is
customary in unix style text files. DOS doesn't like that and
thus refuses to process autoexec.bat.

If so the cure is this: load autoexec.bat in an editor that can
do both end of line types and save it appropriately, easiest
would probably be to load it in dosemu and save it there, too

Does that help ?

PS: Or was it plain linefeed in unix ? Makes no difference to the
problem, though.
