FME form trying to create a folder when it should create a file

This job works fine in FME Workbench 2024.2. But in FME flow, when I try to run the workspace, it’s trying to create a folder instead of a .xml file. See screenshots

Oooooh ​@fmejohn93 Make sure the file path is full UNC \\woozle.wuzzle.intra\mystuff\morestuff\

Hi ​@fmejohn93 Does the before part of the path (blacked out) exist? Maybe your Flow User Account does not have the rights to create a folder/file in that location. say c:\Program Files\****\ConfigExportFme.xml or something like that?

Hope that helps.
 

Does the folder structure exist?

Thanks for your response. Yes, I’ve verified that the path exists and that our Flow user has permissions to write to that folder.
