That's part of it. I tried setting things up as in this pseudocode:

begin
  logger.info("ONE")
  first system call
  logger.info("TWO")
  second system call
  logger.info("THREE")
rescue
  redirect to the error page
end

In this case the expected file does not appear, "ONE" is found in the 
log but not "TWO" or "THREE", and the app. redirects to the error page. 
It seems that the system call is a complete failure with no explanation.

I tried it on the OS command line. I thought that it might be 
permissions, but I'd run script/server as a user that has write 
permission to the relevant directory. I'd also expect some sort of 
permissions error in the logs from the system call but none were to be 
found. I hadn't tried it with irb or script/console but I just did and 
it worked as expected. Very odd...

Thanks for taking the time to make some suggestions!
