We've since discovered that the scripts and console tasks are cached in the Operations Manager cache and possibly the database as well. We've updated the WriteActions to look up the installation path instead of use the F5MPPATH variable. This means the only way to fix the issue is to upgrade to the latest version which will overwrite the existing WriteActions and let you run the commands successfully.

 

 

The other reason this can show up is if you run the task from a Management Server which does not have the F5 Management Pack installed. Because we have other custom software that is installed on the system during setup, if it is not run on each Management Server, not only is the F5MPPATH variable not set, but the libraries and executables required to run any of our tasks will not be available on the server.
