	THe problem as I see it is not with /dev/null it is with redirection.
I have exactly the same problem and I've always ignored it because:
	My understanding of the situation is RSH does not let the user
	redirect output. 
	SOmewhere in the interface program the output is redirected to 
	/dev/null
		Therefore one gets the message. From the above the fix is 
	obvious (or is it).
