RTFM.  Here's the relevant part from tcsh(1):

       The shell  cannot  presently  redirect  diagnostic  output
       without  also redirecting standard output, but `(command >
       output-file)  >&  error-file'  is  often   an   acceptable
       workaround.   Either  output-file  or  error-file  may  be
       `/dev/tty' to send output to the terminal.

Diagnostics output is synonymous with standard error.

Hope this helps
