Gene - I seriously doubt that the problem has anything to do with
       quotes or spaces.  (Unix shell redirection works fine regardless
of spaces around '>', in all the shells I've worked with.)

I think the problem is the great big assumption in the command...
as to current directory, and writability in whatever area you happen to
end up in.  Whenever you use Action=Command, USE FULL PATH NAMES.
Never assume anything about current location: always specify exactly
what you need.

If in doubt about what ended up in the TSM server as a command, use
Query commands under dsmadmc; or use dsmadmc in the first place to do
serious systems work.

Further, start with a trivial shell script for testing/trialing, which
just writes text to Stdout, for redirection to the chosen file.
