Have you tried it this way:

Code:
$ stat error /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/KUMAX
stat: cannot stat `error': No such file or directory
stat: cannot stat `/usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/KUMAX': No such file or directory


$ stat error /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/KUMAX 2>/dev/null
*** Nothing is output(i.e error message sent to bit bucket)
