I'm attaching a snip of the command ran. I tried to attach all the debug info as a .doc, but this UI won't accept it. And it's too large to include here. There are a few references to the two indices that are caught as relevant when I run this manually. I don't see anything revealing in the log. Here is the end, as much as I can fit. You'll see it does reference the two indices that are caught as relevant if I run this manually, which are: casieo\_index-2015.10.05 and casieo\_index-2015.10.04:
