vlc:quit is a playlist item like another one so the global --sout option 
applies to it as well, thus overwritting your previous file.
What you want is to use "sout" as an input option by using ":sout=" instead 
of "--sout=", and moving the option just after your first input (input 
options apply to the input/playlist item preceding them).
Most global options (vlc -H --advanced) that have an effect on 
inputs/playlist items can also be used as input options.
