Job will not extract transformation from a zip repository.

I have created a repository of some simple jobs and transformations a put them on a unix box. Then I ran it from command line and it it runs the first job and then fails to load the 2nd of two transformations. I'm using Spoon/kettle 4.3 Stable.

Right before the job tries to call the second transformation I log the ${Internal.Job.Filename.Directory} variable value...

INFO 21-06 13:30:13,582 - JobDirectory - JOB_DIRECTORY zip:file:///pro/java/iconvert/2.24.0/server/bin/etl/REPOSITORY_sis_Quintrex.zip!/system/job

The value is correct, however, the job fails to open the transformation. ( the transformation is in the same place as the first transformation that did run correctly.)

I get the following error...
INFO 21-06 13:30:13,583 - set_connection_properties - Loading transformation from XML file [zip:file:///pro/java/iconvert/2.24.0/server/bin/etl/REPOSITORY_sis_Quintrex.zip!/system/job\..\transformation\util\set_connection_properties.ktr]
ERROR 21-06 13:30:13,584 - initalize_environment_variables - org.pentaho.di.core.exception.KettleException:
Unexpected error during transformation metadata load

Unable to read file [zip:file:///pro/java/iconvert/2.24.0/server/bin/etl/REPOSITORY_sis_Quintrex.zip!/system/transformation/util/set_connection_properties.ktr]
Could not read from "zip:file:///pro/java/iconvert/2.24.0/server/bin/etl/REPOSITORY_sis_Quintrex.zip!/system/transformation/util/set_connection_properties.ktr" because it is a not a file.

This second part makes no sense as it is referencing the exact path that it should be and the file does exist. I found that by extracting the zip and running the job it works.

So, why won't it properly extract it from the zip file?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
