STDERR only goes to the Asterisk console if you are running 1.4 or later 
and enable agi debug in the CLI.

I seem to recall something about AGIs not working correctly (streamfile 
or DTMF read) if your AGI script does not process the input Asterisk 
sends it on STDIN when Asterisk starts the AGI.  I don't know if it 
applies here, but it's worth looking at.
