Maltrieve started throwing an error after execution as a regular user.

Two things:

  1. You have an older version and might want to upgrade when you get a chance. No biggie, I don't think.
  2. For your specific question - what does your urls.json file look like?

urls.json is empty.

After downloading the newer version of maltrieve, the error went away. Thanks for your help.
