Perhaps an unintended side effect of redirection?

programname >/path/to/datafile 2>&1 would cause data and error messages to be sent to the same file. You might not notice anything wrong unless errors or warnings occurred.

Or perhaps the text is not actually appearing in the files, and is just being broadcasted to your terminal, i.e. an old fashioned wall message like "the machine is shutting down NOW".
