Try "2>&1>NUL:" - this always works for me. Sends the STDERR stream to STDOUT before redirecting STDOUT.
I've pretty much moved from SHELL to WshPipe to execute any external commands. The version on my web site is just a tad different than what's posted here, as it returns the STDOUT and STDERR in separate arrays instead of mashing the output together. All output is masked that way, and no dealing with funky intermediate files to capture output.
