Not sure what to do to make it work. Can someone help?
This is a very simple beginner mistake and has nothing to do with FileBot specifically. For the sake of education, please try to figure it out yourself first.
I must have not saved the .sh file properly. I just tested it again and it worked perfectly. Hooray!
Last question (and feel free to point me to a doc on this; I couldn't find one), how can I delete the original file once the script makes its copy and renames it properly?
I'm not sure how it's interpreted. I tried a number of things until I got it to work.
Then, for whatever reason, it stopped working. I don't know what I changed to make it stop working, but I can't get it working again.
I'll go back to the UI and do this the old fashioned way. I can't get the script to work again after trying to change it to delete my original un-renamed file.
I'll check out the presets and muck with the automation some more.
I did get the automation to work on my Desktop with some files, so I think it's just my output path.
One question for clarification; the script should only run against a torrent file once, right? I think I'm confusing myself because I'm downloading the same torrent multiple times to test if it's working, and I think maybe there's something in place that's telling it to only run a single time per .torrent, does that sound logical?
Right now (when outputting to my desktop), it works fine for a brand new torrent. But if I re-download something I already downloaded, the script doesn't run. (Presumably because something in the log says it already ran?)
I am now successful at getting it to run reliably, just had to get the right output path.
Now I just need to set myself a weekly reminder to go clean out the completed torrents directory (since clean=y will only delete empty directories and a bunch of essentially junk gets left behind once the original renamed file is moved).
Thanks for your help! (and for Filebot, in general!)

This is not smart. You're wasting your time. You'll never ever get anywhere like this. You do know that you can just run commands in CMD, right? Instead of wasting time doing things the stupid way, you could have just spent a few hours systematically learning how to use the command-line, then just get the job done in half an hour.
Before you can run the script from Transmission, you need to be able to run it yourself. Otherwise you'll be doing things the VERY HARD way and that never ends well. Using the command-line is easy. But if you work with your eyes closed and hands tied behind your back then it might feel a bit more difficult than it actually is.
Did you read the manual at all? Which part exactly is not clear?

If something is not working, first read the Notes above, then just run the command manually in a new console window and see what happens. You CANNOT run the command without replacing the VARIABLES. The variables have to be replaced with actual values first. You can find the actual cmdline call in the µTorrents Logger tab so you can just copy it from there. You may need to enable the Logger tab first (just right-click one of the other tabs like Info).
*** If you need help start a new thread and always include cmdline output! ***
It's always helpful to check the exact command utorrent ends up executing in the Logger tab. It'll look something like this:
