Are you sure you tried redirecting *standard error* (not standard output) to a file or null device? I'm sure I've used this in the past to prevent cron-ed exports to mail me the log of each export job.

I'm not on unix any more but on NT it's the same thing (export is feeding the messages to standard error, not to standard output!).
