Zip Extractor plugin issue

the Zip Extractor plugin is behaving unexpectedly. On the first run, it works as expected and extracts the files into the folder. However, when I run it again with the same document ID, it fails. Has anyone encountered this before or have any suggestions on what might be causing it?

    Have you tried removing, moving, and/or renaming the output files before subsequent executions?  Various plug-ins require filename uniqueness before they work right, i presume since this is a traiditonal OS requirement (even though it isn't actually required in the Appian filesystem).
