This problem relates to the redirection of the standard error device.
A remedy can be found in the 4DOS command shell
(ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/cmd4dos/4dos552.zip), 
and its redirection options supported:

  >& filename   To redirect standard output and standard error to a
                file or device
  >&> filename  To redirect standard error only to a file or device
