Default Problems with using "Travel to Homelocation"

Hi,
I tried to build a model where a transporter takes a number of items out of a conveyor or elevator. Places them infront of the object. After the object is empty, starts to transport them to a queue. When all items are transported, the TE should go back to the conveyor and wait there for the next arriving items.
So I´ve done as seen in the attached model. But when I tried to use the "Travel to Homelocation" code in the "OnResourceAvailable" Trigger of TE it didn´t work. After some trying it worked but as you can see, there is a jump of the TE after the last item is transported.
Can anybody tell me my mistake?
Just tried to use a Dispatcher. But this way the TE jumps after transporting every Item. Now I think, the "Resource" gets available after every finished transport. Also can´t find anything in the Task Queue?
Looking forward to your replys.

Hi Sebastian,

I have tested your model. You use a offset-travel- command on a transporter that shouldn't travel offset. Maybe the transporter is still on offset-travel when the standard tasksequence is executed. The transporter is still connected to NN6 by a red line. It jumps from the last offset travel location to the connected Networknode.

Use travel instead of traveltoloc as a tasktype. So the transporter doesn't leave the network. No Offset-travel occures.
