Maybe one of the variables is that you are using PC-DOS 2000.  I have had
difficulties (sometimes) with the default freedos kernel on a 64-bit linux
machine.  There are workaround for the pkzip issue, but there are others
that are pervasive.

Someone else has reported having luck using an older MS-DOS kernel... 5.0,
I think.  I have that one so I thought I would try it sometime.
