Metaeuk issue running BUSCO on transcriptome mode

Dear BUSCO team,

I have been trying to run BUSCO in transcriptome mode using CONDA (BUSCO version 5.8.3 and 5.3.2) and a container version (docker://ezlabgva/busco:v5.8.2_cv1) on an HPC server, but I always encounter the same issue. My testing sample/command is:

busco -i BisSp1.Trinity.fasta -m transcriptome -c 8 \
-f -l coleoptera_odb12 \
--out_path /My_PATH/TEST \
-o BisSp_BUSCO

BUSCO error is:

And looking inside the folders the metaeuk error is:

Failed to execute /My_PATH/TEST/BisSp1_BUSCO/run_coleoptera_odb12/metaeuk_output/tmp/1098942550272613958/easypredict.sh with error 13.

I looked into issue #706 (closed) and did not find the flag noexec in the /etc/fstab

Then... how can I solve this?

Thanks in advance for any help. kind regards, Niko
