Here is something I learned with the client under aix when running into
redirect problems...
Within a ksh script, to get dsmc to NOT treat the ">" as part of the
parameters I had to stick an "eval" at the front of my line... when the
interpreter interpreted the line, it broke off all my redirect stuff
properly and all was OK then.

eval nohup dsmc retrieve
/export/data2/oracle/oratccda/ewks_aats02_oratccda.dbf
/d102/oracle/ORATCCDA/ewks_aats02_oratccda.dbf -serv=houdsm02-hosd207f
-replace=yes -fromdate=08/21/1999 -pass=xxxx >2.files.out 2>&1 &
so inside your script you are doing something like
so inside your script you are doing something like
#!/bin/ksh
...
dsmadmc -id=blah -pass=xxx query drmedia .....    > some_file
...
exit

try making the line
eval dsmadmc -id=blah -pass=xxx query drmedia .....    > some_file
