IIRC, you can't use a property like this. The property isn't processed at
runtime, rather at compile time so it'll continually try to write to the
filename based on when the script was compiled.
In order to be dynamic, using the script execution time you'll need to set
myFilePath at runtime by including it in your run handler.
