After powerwashing the chromebook again, I was able to get it working.

However, the first time I ran the script, it was located in a subdirectory within ~/Downloads instead of within ~/Downloads itself.

I'm not 100% sure this is the problem, but if it is, I suggest adding a check at the beginning of the script to make sure the current directory is ~/Downloads
