rules not working for unarchive

I had my rules set up perfectly on my old Mac mini. It would monitor a folder on the desktop, run rules folder contents, find any RAR extensions, unarchive them, and then move the mkv file to a different folder. This worked well on my old Mac mini. Yesterday I replaced the Mac mini after cloning the same folders, etc. Hazel is set up with the same rules which I verified by looking at the hazel app on each Mac mini. Now, the rules run, but no archive is being unarchived. From the logs, it finds the rar extension files, and matches the rule to them, but nothing unarchives them.

Can you turn on debug mode (https://www.noodlesoft.com/kb/hazel-debug-mode/) and post the relevant logs?

I have a rule first if ANy of the following conditions are met (on the watched folder) if kind is "folder" then run rules on folder contents and then continue matching rules.

The second rule is if ANY of the following conditions are met Extention is .rar
then do the following.
Unarchive
then continue matching rules.

Third rule is if extension is .mkv or extention is .mp4 the do the following, MOVE to folder (designated folder)

It looks like you already have a long-running (possibly hung?) process on that folder. Launch Activity Monitor, search for hazelworker. Most will come and go but I'm guessing there will be one that sticks around. Note it's PID. From there, in Hazel's log, search for that PID and post the resulting excerpt.

The PID for the hazelwork sticking around is 20618

I see you are running 5.1, which is a bit old. Can you try updating to the latest (5.2.2)? Note that the in-app updater on 5.1 is broken so I suggest downloading and installing the update manually.

Thank you! That appears to have fixed the problem!
