I don't know for sure if this is the same thing,.. but when I had this problem
the discussion several weeks ago about the:

.bra {
.ket }

being added to the beginning of the script files where shell redirect is used
solved my probs.  

In other words... if you are executing a shell script that has '<' or '>' in
them, you need to redefine the braket characters to '{' and '}' so that the
script doesn't confuse them with the shell redirects.  I ran into this when
I modified several startup scripts that had previously worked, but in the
new versions of them, I redirected output to >NIL:.

This works for me, your luck may be different.
