- that might be useful, but maybe you don't put quotes around $CSG_ERRORLOG ?
otherwise, can it create a file named "/dev/null" instead of dumping the output 
into the null device? I've tried "inverse.log 2>inverse.err" for $CSGLOG (via 
tag cg.inverse.log_file in settings.xml) and got the file named "inverse.log 
2>inverse.err" (without quotes)

- out of curiosity, do you ever actually use descriptors 3 and/or 4, or is it 
there just in case for the future uses?
