What I can suggest to investigate the issue is to try to perform the task using Bonita Portal and compare the REST request sent by the Portal with the one you are sending. You can get information about the request sent by the Portal using the web developer tools of your web browser.

My first guess was that the task was not assigned but according to the JSON you shared the tasked is correctly assigned to Helen Kelly ("assigned_id": "3").
