freeze.py and jobs.csv are created in a temporary directory that is deleted by the time the program terminates. If you edit builder.py and add...

    temp_dir.setAutoRemove(False)

...below the line that creates the QTemporaryDir instance then the directory and its contents should survive. You can then run the freeze.py script manually to see what's going on.
