I have a similar issue to:
https://www.akeebabackup.com/support/admin-tools/25427-application-instantiation-error-akeeba-engine-detected-a-problem-while-saving-temporary-data.html
After upgrading Admin Tools from 3.8.3 to 3.8.5 the cron job for automatic php file scan stopped working.
I tried the CLI command from an SSH session and got this:

I tried the solution proposed in the following ticket with no success:
https://www.akeebabackup.com/support/admin-tools/25427-application-instantiation-error-akeeba-engine-detected-a-problem-while-saving-temporary-data.html
Further info;
- I can run the scan from the backend manually with no problem
- I use a different path for the tmp and log folders from the default one used by Joomla. However when in Admin Tools i click the button "temp and log directory check" it finds the right paths. I read the change log for Admin Tools and it says that the new version was preparing for the new location for the tmp and log folders in Joomla 3.6
Looking forward to a solution, thanks!
