Thank you! It's been a great help so far.

After the run is complete, it looks like those files are not retained, or at least do not appear in the location that I've specified. I see a _concurrent directory but it is empty. If I specify a directory as part of the prefix (e.g., <concurrent_mapper;prefix="out/sim",suffix=".out">;) I see an "out" directory inside the _concurrent directory but that directory is empty.
