You will have to rewrite `eshell-remove-process-entry', so that it
inserts something into a buffer rather than calling message.  For
example:

(defun eshell-remove-process-entry (entry)
  "Record the process ENTRY as fully completed."
  (if (and (eshell-processp (car entry))
	   (nth 2 entry)
	   eshell-done-messages-in-minibuffer)
      (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*eshell.job.finished*")
        (insert (format "[%s]+ Done %s" (process-name (car entry))
	  	         (process-command (car entry))))))
  (setq eshell-process-list
	(delq entry eshell-process-list)))
