The tee command creates its copies from standard input, but you may be
seeing standard error from the previous commands in the pipeline. A
common fix with tools like tee is just to ensure that both standard
output and standard error from your command both go to the same file
descriptor. Hence:

    foo 2>&1 | tee /tmp/bar

will pipe all output through tee, not just standard output. Give it a
try and see if that helps.
