DVR Post Processing script Handbrake issue

Server Version#:1.13.8.5395

Hi,
I have a simple script to take the mpeg2 file and run it through Handbrake CLI to compress and change it to an mp4. When i run the script manually in the terminal and supply it a file path to a .ts file as an argument, it runs fine. I put the path to the script in plex in the post processing field in the live tv dvr settings page so this process would run automatically after each recording. I can confirm that plex does run the script as i have the script write a small log file when it executes, but the handbrake call does not execute. Are there any known issues having plex execute the call to Handbrake CLI? The only difference i can think of between me running the script via the terminal and plex running the script is the user. I run the script logged in as my account and plex runs under the “plex” user it created. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
