Stdout is redirected in this fashion, but stderr is not. My guess is
your testscript prints to stderr. To redirect both do: 

c:\Temp>ruby t.rb > out 2>&1           

c:\Temp>cat out      
stdout is redirected 
stderr is redirected 

c:\Temp>cat t.rb                       
                                       
STDOUT.puts "stdout is redirected"     
STDERR.puts "stderr is redirected"
