Hermes Agent issues with directory creation

I'm having issues with Hermes Agent actually processing commands through the terminal. I'm doing something simple like asking it to make a dir and it tells me it has, but it hasn't. Using Qwen3.5 9b until later today when my 3090 gets here and I'll upgrade. Is this a tool calling issue? No warnings in the hermes logs about it. I don't believe this is a context issue, I'm trying this on a fresh chat. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here.
