OK, got it working. I think the issue was I had a user variable or system variable wrong. I followed these instructions OCR in Joplin (How to) - #3 by myfta and the errors resolved. Then to my earlier issue, per your suggestion, I tried having the scanner save the file somewhere else, and then only once the file was completely saved, moved it to the monitored folder. Sure enough, the OCR worked! Thanks so much for all your help. Truly, if you hadn't built and maintained this script I wouldn't have used Joplin at all, having OCR was a firm requirement for me as I transitioned away from Evernote.
