You could try substituting:
DIR %1

in the first line instead of using:
dir "C:\Users\z533560\Documents\Time Reporting Validation\06_23_12 Newtech Timesheets\Voz" /b /on > "C:\Users\z533560\Desktop\TimesheetsFiles.txt"

To add the counts to the end of the file, try this:

ECHO %c% Files >> TimesheetsFiles.txt
">>" says to append to the end of the file.
