This is probably unrelated to your current problem, but there is a
problem with your command line:
":quant_intra_matrix=/usr/home/morganw/.transcode/intra.matrix:\
quant_intra_matrix=/usr/home/morganw/.transcode/inter.matrix:\"

should be

:quant_intra_matrix=/usr/home/morganw/.transcode/intra.matrix:\
quant_inter_matrix=/usr/home/morganw/.transcode/inter.matrix:\

Also,
1)Why are you using custom matrices? Where did you get these from?
2)Remove the "msglevel all=-1". Do you get any warnings?
3)Give us some information about the original movie. Framerate, for
example. And is the original movie progressive or interlaced?
4) 712 is not a multiple of 16. It is generally wise to choose
dimensions that are multiple of 16.
5) Why are you explicitly specifying "-ofps 24000/1001" ?
6) Who recommended you "keyframe_boost=15" ?
