GoGoDuck does not give any specific error messages (eg. too many files)

[dnahodil]

It looks to like the gogoduck script does write any output to stderr. This would mean that the current mechanism for getting human-readable error messages form the script into emails for the user is never used.

What does happen All logging goes to stdout. So the emails go out with a generic message rather than a message specific to what the problem was (in the cases where we want to do that).

What should happen In the cases where there is a specific message we want to include with the failure email we need to write that to stderr.
