In particular, when testing if the filesystem allows tabs in filenames, bash issues an error something like:
./t4016-diff-quote.sh: pathname with HT: No such file or directory
which is caused by the failure of the (stdout) redirection, since the file cannot be created. In order to suppress the error message, you must redirect stderr to /dev/null, *before* the stdout redirection on the command-line.
Also, remove a redundant filesystem check from the begining of the t3902-quoted.sh test and standardise the "test skipped" message to 'say' on exit.
