Update location item based on MQTT input

Hi,

I’ve set up MQTT and with this string:

String	 mqtt_Phone_Position  		"Phone Position"				<zoom>			(gGeofencing)		{ mqtt="<[mosquitto:owntracks/myuser/phone_dries:state:default]" }

This string is regularly updated with information in this format “_type”:“location”,“tid”:“10”,“acc”:1,“batt”:84,“conn”:“m”,“lat”:41.9166374,“lon”:4.4709139,“tst”:1504512115 :

2017-09-04 10:01:59.497 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - mqtt_Phone_Position changed from {"_type":"location","tid":"10","acc":1,"batt":84,"conn":"m","lat":41.9166374,"lon":4.4709139,"tst":1504512115} to {"_type":"location","tid":"10","acc":1,"batt":84,"conn":"m","lat":41.9166374,"lon":4.4709139,"tst":1504512119}

(GPS coordinates modified for obvious reasons)

Using a rule, I wanted to transform that in a proper location-item.

This is my rule:

rule "Locatie Dries berekenen"

when 
    Item mqtt_Phone_Position changed
then
	logInfo("OwnTracks","MQTT update")
    val String json = (mqtt_Phone_Position.state as StringType).toString
	val String type = transform("JSONPATH", "$._type", json)
	if (type == "location") {
		logInfo("OwnTracks","The rule never gets to this point")
		val String lat  = transform("JSONPATH", "$.lat", json)
		val String lon  = transform("JSONPATH", "$.lon", json)
		val String acc  = transform("JSONPATH", "$.acc", json)
		val String batt = transform("JSONPATH", "$.batt", json)

		mqtt_Phone_Latitude.postUpdate(lat)
		mqtt_Phone_Longitude.postUpdate(lon)
		mqtt_Phone_Location.postUpdate(new PointType(lat + "," + lon))
		mqtt_Phone_Accuracy.postUpdate(new DecimalType(acc))
		mqtt_Phone_Battery.postUpdate(new PercentType(batt))
	}
end

For some reason, the rule never gets to the second loginfo-statement. But type = location, right?
The JSONPATH transformation has been installed via PaperUI.

What am I missing?

Strange. Uninstalling and reinstalling JSONPATH transformation helped.
