While porting some stuff from Linux I noticed that I can not redirect
output from commands into a file. E.g. 

*/3 * * * * date > stamp

will not update the file. The manpage talks about BSD not being
able to mail output, but fails to mention not handling output
at all.

What gives and, better still, how can I make this work?
