[Box Backup] Your help is requested!

[Pascal Lalonde]

Ok,

I feel like I'm doing something *really* stupid here. I'll assume
anything that comes at me after this question:

How can I redirect bbackupquery's output (compare -a) to a file??

I know I already did it once, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

Here's what I do:
bbackupquery "compare -a" quit > /tmp/compare.log

This works:
bbackupquery ls quit > /tmp/compare.log

When I try to follow the file with tail -f, nothing shows up.

Yesterday, after my full compare, I found my compare.log to be empty.
Yet when I'm not redirecting to a file, it seems to work fine.

Now, what am I doing wrong? Can someone try it and tell me how it goes?

Same behavior on both OpenBSD 3.5 i386 and Gentoo i386.
