BibLaTeX and Biber Issue - package not found but seems to be working?

[seb-hyland]

I am exporting an Org-mode file with a bibliography to PDF through Tectonic. I have used

#+BIBLIOGRAPHY: assets/citations.bib
#+CITE_EXPORT: biblatex ieee

and included a #+PRINT_BIBLIOGRAPHY: tag within Org mode. This effectively puts

\usepackage[style=ieee]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{assets/citations.bib}
...
\printbibliography

in my .tex file.

I am not getting any compilation errors on Tectonic export; I resolved the version incompatibility error by installing v2.17 of Biber. However, in the generated .bbl file, I am getting:

\@ifundefined{[email protected]}
  {\@latex@error
    {Missing 'biblatex' package}
    {The bibliography requires the 'biblatex' package.}
    \aftergroup\endinput}
    {}

and the generated PDF is empty where the \printbibliography call is.

Did I make a mistake on installation? I thought biblatex is working since on the process output it shows

(biblatex.sty
...
(biblatex.def) (ieee.bbx
...
(biblatex.cfg)

and

Package biblatex Warning: Please (re)run Biber on the file:
(biblatex)          myfilename
(biblatex)          and rerun LaTeX afterwards
...
note: Running external tool biber ...
note: Rerunning TeX because biber was run ...

However, I am not getting a proper bibliography in my PDF. Any advice is appreciated!
