I'm sorry I guess it was not Z it was only S:

 --pdf -o /tmp/DenemoLXkZSN/denemoprintB /tmp/DenemoLXkZSN/denemoprintB.ly

Here is the glib function we are using to call lilypond:
g_spawn_async_with_pipes ()
http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib-Spawning-Processes.html#g-spawn-async-with-pipes

I am going to set stderr to NULL and set the flag G_SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL to 
see if that fixes things.

Thanks,
Jeremiah
