cool, i'll give this a shot now too. 

it's possible the other err i mentioned to you mike, was
actually related to the stdout redirection. i wanted to test
more, but trying not to wreak havoc on the headnode :P anyway,
if this works, i can do more testing and will post if i'm
still getting the error.
