I was dismayed when I found that even the IceStorage-Parallel.idf did not work as I had hoped. Charging and discharging did not occur at night and work hours respectively.
I won't be accepting this answer as I was never able to get the ice tank and chiller to behave exactly as I wanted using built in control objects in energyplus, and even using EnergyManagementSystem objects did not fully work, but mostly worked.
However, at least the person reading this will know to skip the built in objects and try EMS for controlling the ice tank.
