Duplicate File creation

Hi Mr Noodle
I am having a issue with a rule duplicating files.
I have checked the rule, and also the forums to see if I could solve this. But is still causing issues that I do not understand, so hope you could help solve this with me.

If I quickly explain the workflow

I am using iOS ScanBot App to send scanned receipts file pdf ( NAME_AMOUNT ) to a ScanBot folder in iCloud.
Hazel monitoring this folder then renames with date ( DATE_NAME_AMOUNT ) and files on local drive in a specific folder / subfolder created by month.

Previously this was working all ok, as have been using the rule for a number of months, and duplicate files where not previously created, it is only occurring in the last few weeks, but I can not pin the exact date down.

The duplicated filename created is DATE_DATE_ORIIGINAL FILENAME . Where as the other file is named correctly DATE_ORIGINAL FILENAME.

After looking at the forums I added, Date added is after date last matched to the rule thinking this might stop the duplication.
What is strange is that it does not seam to be creating duplicate files in every instance.

The rule is below as well as well as the Debug Mode log file for two operations searched for under the original filename.

Thanks for Help

Add tag >

Move to folder >

Thanks again for help

I'm wondering if this is a problem with iCloud sync, where it recreates the file that was moved. I'd try it on a non-iCloud folder to see if you get the same results or not. If not, then it may be an issue with iCloud.

OK thanks.

I figured out why I believe the duplicates are intermittent.
I have my iMac disk set to not sleep, when I am away from it, it seams to duplicate, when I am in front of the computer it does not seam to duplicate.

I will move to Dropbox to see if that helps.
