Here is my way around this problem. The example below is for a "ping" command, but I'm sure you can adapt it to your stuff. As you can see, I direct the output of the shell command to a temporary text file. The second part of the shell command containing the "2>&1 &" is the relevant section. I don't understand it but it works :-)
2>&1 means that you want anything sent to stderr (2) redirected to stdout (1), meaning that stdout now will be both stdout and stderr.
The trailing & simply means that you want to run it in the background, and you're then free to run other commands while this command is running in the background.
