What you did was dup fd1 onto fd2, then redirect fd1 to /dev/null:
fd1 -> stdout fd2 -> stderr
2>&1
fd1 -> stdout fd2 -> stdout
>/dev/null
fd1 -> /dev/null fd2 -> stdout
Swap the two redirects, so you redirect fd1 to /dev/null, then dup it
onto fd2:
fd1 -> stdout fd2 -> stderr
>/dev/null
fd1 -> /dev/null fd2 -> stdout
2>&1
fd1 -> /dev/null fd2 -> /dev/null
