A couple areas you may be running into trouble with Garry's batch 
file. In this line in Step 2:

for /f "tokens=1-3,* delims=`" %%a in ('dir /b %tmp%') do (

Put " " around %tmp% (if your path contains spaces) so it becomes:

for /f "tokens=1-3,* delims=`" %%a in ('dir /b "%tmp%"') do (



The other place you are likely having trouble is near the very end 
where you see these two lines:

ren "%tmp%\%fname%`%fdate%`%ftime%`%fpath%"
"%fname%-%fdate%-%ftime%`%fpath%"

As Garry mentioned in his comment above it those two lines should be 
combined on one line with a single space separating the two sections 
enclosed in " "


Now that being said, I did a little more tweaking to Garry's batch 
file so the dates and times are inserted between the destination file 
names and the file extensions. My "source", "temp", 
and "destination" directories are different than Garry's so you'll 
need to change those to the correct ones for you. But otherwise you 
might give the following a try (The success of this, like Garry's, 
assumes you have a 5 level deep source i.e. something like:

"C:\test folder\source\1105\1545\dir\".

@echo off
setlocal
set src=C:\test folder\source

:: The above is the source path which has the yymmdd subdirs
:: If you want to pass this as a parameter, use:
:: set src=%~1
if not exist "%src%" echo Source not found!&pause&goto :eof

:: The next is the dest path where the renamed files will go
set dst=C:\test folder\destination

:: The next is a temporary dir for the part renamed files
set tmp=C:\test folder\temp

:: Clean out any files in the temporary path
rd /s/q %tmp% 2>nul

:: Step 1. Gather files into the temp dir with the path
:: appended to the file name. Files end up with a name like
:: filename.ext`yyymmmdd`hh00`origpath
xxcopy "%src%\" "%tmp%\" /sr

:: Step 2. Split each filename into its components of
:: filename, yyymmmdd, hh00, origpath then rename them to
:: filename-yyymmmdd-hh00`origpath
:: See FOR /? for an explanation of the FOR command

set fname=%%~na
set fext=%%~xa

set ftime=%%c

)


:: Step 2A. Move Files to DIR directory
move "%tmp%\*.*" "%tmp%\%fpath%"

:rename
:: This renames the files in the temp directory using the

:: Note the the next line is wrapped. Everything before

:: NEXT IS ONE LONG LINE
