The only issue is that the .tmp file does NOT get swapped into the .ts location.   The .ts file remains as the original file.    In settings, I have tried “save original file” on or off with no change.

Sounds like a permissions problem. Check the owner of the ts file as well as the permissions, to see if they are inline with the user of the transcode.  The owner/permissions of the tmp transcoded file will assist in knowing the transcode user.
