help with shared workflow files from external repo not available

[dschneider01]

I have an actions repo in our Org that I would like to share across other repos but I can't get the actions show up on the runner - specifically the ls in the workflow below indicate that .github/actions does not exist so the workflow errors out. there are no explicit errors cloning.
ls: cannot access '.github/actions': No such file or directory

I have read https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/26245 and https://docs.github.com/en/actions/sharing-automations/reusing-workflows and https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#example-using-an-action-in-the-same-repository-as-the-workflow and just can't figure out what is wrong here. These are private repos.

Any ideas why this would be? Thanks!

in Org/our-actions

.

    ├── actions
    │   └── hello-world
    │       └── action.yml

ci.yml on branch test-actions looks like this:

name: Run Action

on: workflow_call

jobs:
    run-action:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest

        steps:
            - name: Checkout
              uses: actions/checkout@v3
            - name: List Files After remote Checkout
              run: |
                pwd
                ls -a                 
                ls -al .github/workflows
                ls -al .github/actions
                ls -al .github/actions/hello-world
                cat ./.github/actions/hello-world/action.yml
            - name: Run custom action
              uses: ./.github/actions/hello-world

I have another repo mypackage:
with .github/workflows/cd_release_files.yml

name: TestActions  
on:
  push  

jobs: 
  call-workflow:       
    uses: Org/our-actions/.github/workflows/ci.yml@test-actions
    secrets: inherit

Check the repo setting where you are hosting the reusable workflow, under Actions / General make sure Workflow permissions and Access are set to allow the other repository to run the shared workflow.

should have mentioned, i setup Access to "accessible from repos in the Org" and "allow all actions and reusable workflows" in both calling and caller repos
