What you want is
Code:
xterm -hold -e "sh -c 'rsh amaqc01 tar -cvML471859200 -f amatap0"$tape_nd":/dev/st"$tape_dr" /dir1/dir2 2>&1' | foo/bar.txt" &

Or you can code it for csh (only):
Code:
xterm -hold -e "rsh amaqc01 tar -cvML471859200 -f amatap0"$tape_nd":/dev/st"$tape_dr" /dir1/dir2 |& foo/bar.txt" &

Do you really need to capture stderr in foo/bar.txt?
If not, in your current script you can simply omit the 2>&1.

rxterm

RXTERM(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 RXTERM(1)

NAME

     rxterm -- start a secure remote xterm

SYNOPSIS

     rxterm [-l username] [-k] [-r rsh_args] [-x xterm_args] [-K kx_args] [-w term_emulator] [-b rsh_program] host [port]

DESCRIPTION

     The rxterm program starts an xterm window on host host.  From this window you will also be able to run X clients that will be able to connect
     securely to your X server. If port is given, that port will be used instead of the default.

     The supported options are:

     -l      Log in on the remote host as user username.

     -k      Disable keep-alives.

     -r      Send rsh_args as arguments to rsh.

     -x      Send xterm_args as arguments to xterm.

     -X      Send kx_args as arguments to kx.

     -w      Use term_emulator instead of xterm.

     -b      Use rsh_program instead of rsh.

     -v      Be verbose.

EXAMPLE

     To login from host foo (where your display is) to host bar, you might do the following.

     1.   On foo: rxterm bar

     2.   You will get a new window running an xterm on host bar.  In this window you will be able to start X clients.
