[trigger.pl] sending output to status screen

I have a trigger that sends a message for -parts -kicks -quits but trigger.pl is piping it to my status screen rather than posting it in the channel. my -joins trigger works fine, though. Has anyone encountered this issue? Any ideas what's going wrong? The trigger is:

-parts -kicks -quits -nocase -masks '[masks]' -command '[postcommand]'

Its very strange. thanks ahead of time
