Does your framework issue g_ip commands with --verbose etc specified?  
And does it
capture the verbose output?

(I would not be surprised if it didn't, because a while ago I was unable 
to make a
script running uner Windows capture output, without interfering with the 
way that
G_ip itself captures subcommand results so it can decide if they worked. 
  But you
may have been luckier.)
