I'm not a MapServer guru, but according to the tile4ms manual
you generates metafile from a set of input files, but not from single
file, so following the manual:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/utilityreference/tile4ms

it should be *.shp:

dir /b /s *.shp > metafile.txt
tile4ms metafile.txt tileindex
