To send output to a specific notebook for logging, I would define my 
own logging function.  It might look something like this:

$dbgnb = NotebookCreate[WindowTitle -> "Debugging Output"];
dbgout[data_] := (SelectionMove[$dbgnb, After, Notebook];
   NotebookWrite[$dbgnb,
    Cell[BoxData[ToBoxes[data]], "Print", CellAutoOverwrite -> False]];)

dbgout["test"]
