the reason is that you use the output as an input.
you need to make two ports, one input and one output port,
then get the data from the input, modify it in the operator code and
output it to the, well, output port.
hope this helps

Hi Dan,
You could try this to see if it makes a difference:
var xform = XSIMath.CreateTransform();
xform.SetTranslation(pos);
out.value.transform = xform;
