Unable to stop Lightroom from going to sleep on iMac

I've been unable to find a solution to this problem with my iMac (Monterey 12.6):

Whenever I try to run a long task in Lightroom, such as transferring a large batch of files, the iMac goes to sleep (black screen) and the task stops.  It only restarts when I wake up the computer again.  Attached is a screen grab of my settings.

 

I thought turning on "Prevent your Mac from Auto sleep when display is off" would stop this from happening.  This doesn't seem to work as it should.  Or am I missing something?  Tks.

You are transferring a large batch of files, and your Mac is set to put the disks to sleep whenever possible. That does not sound like a good combination.

Thanks...I turned that off.
