I am attempting what should be a simple renaming of attributes using the BulkAttributeRenamer however the results I am getting are applying the rename to column rather the attribute values.

I am using a PostGIS reader and writer. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?

The BulkAttributeRenamer renames the attributes, it does not touch the values themselves. Any of the AttributeCreator, AttributeManager, StringConcatenator transformers can be used the add a prefix to the existing value.

1000_@Value(auid)

You should use the StringConcatenator transformer to add "1000_" to the value.
