You're missing something obvious.

FORCE-OUTPUT and FINISH-OUTPUT each take optional arguments which  
specify what output stream they affect; this argument defaults to the  
stream which is the value of *STANDARD-OUTPUT*, and this likely isn't  
what you want.  In your example, calling either

(FORCE-OUTPUT OS)

or

(FINISH-OUTPUT OS)

will cause any data in the stream's buffers to be sent to the OS.   
(There was a discussion of the differences between these functions on  
this list a week or two ago; I don't want to repeat that, but I think  
that in most cases FORCE-OUTPUT suffices.)

Streams in CCL are almost always fully buffered.
