Issue

Redirection of output specified in a RHEV CLI script executed using the 'file' command fails. For example, a script called 'start_tagged' contains;

list vms --query "tag = gfwtag" | grep name | sed s/'name       :'/'action vm'/ | sed -e 's/$/ start/' > /home/gfw/stv
file /home/gfw/stv

This script is then executed using the 'file' command;

[RHEVM shell (connected)]# file /home/gfw/start_tagged

This generates the following output;

[RHEVM shell (connected)]# list vms --query "tag = gfwtag" | grep name | sed s/'name       :'/'action vm'/ | sed -e 's/$/ start/' > /home/gfw/stv

[RHEVM shell (connected)]# file /home/gfw/stv


error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/gfw/stv'

As can be seen the output file does not get created.
