well, this is easy;
pd does not know anything about an argument "set". therefore it tries to 
interprete "set" as a filename to be loaded (which will fail, unless you 
have a file "set" in your path, that holds a pd-patch). the same goes 
for "VST_PATH=D:\Program Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins"

the correct solution is (i guess) to tell you OS that the VST_PATH is ....
you can do this with "set", but you have to tell your OS to do so, not pd.

thus, your .bat file should read:
<snip>
set VST_PATH=D:\Program Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins
pd -lib ../vst/Release/vst -noadc -midiindev 1 -midioutdev 1
</snip>

these are two separate lines !
