Neural Filters as part of Image Processing or Batch Mode not completing?

I am helping my son with B&W photos.

We created colorizing and photo restore Neural filter actions. 

We can't get the File > Batch nor the Image Processing to correctly run the script and save the file

Has anyone got this to work and can share how?

If I use the save function in the action, it doesn't work, if I try to override it in the dialog it doesn't work.

If I try in image processing I tend to just get a spinning cursor "loading" in the neural filter when the script runs and opens. 

And in batch mode it runs but nothing happens. I am pretty sure this should work (unless a bug).
PS 24.1, Mac OS, 

Suggestions welcome, google did not help and PS doc is thin...
