Hm.  Are you sure that shouldn't read  2>&1 >&3 ?  It looks like you're 
directing stderr to fd 1,  then directing fd1 to fd3

And I suspect that last 3>&1 ought to read 3>&2.

The bsic trick of using a redirect to fd 3 inside the command and a redirect 
of fd 3 outside it looks like it should work, though.
