    It's your local ssh that is backgrounded. The remote command runs
    in the foreground. Try

        ssh remotemachine command >/dev/null 2>/dev/null \&

    or even,

        ssh remotemachine command \>/dev/null 2\>/dev/null \&

    to make the redirections to /dev/null happen on the remote machine too.
