Strictly speaking, shouldn't that be ‘wait -f’?  I don't know if it's
only job control that could cause a change in tee's status  Also, wait's
exit status is ignored; reporting an unusual status may give a clue.
An rm without -f could be attempted first and if that fails then report
its exit status and try again with -f, checking that second rm too.

Same end result, ‘rm -f’, but perhaps more light shed on the problem.
