Are you suggesting that the command argument to `parallel` is shell that's parsed and reinterpreted by `parallel`?

Buffering the output would make more sense, but the OP's command isn't outputting to stdout, but rather appending directly to a file.

Good point. The command should simply move the >>file outside of the quote, and then it will work.

Oh, yeah, I read it as if the ">>" was outside.
