I have now (I need to use jobfilename, because I get an error when I
use outputfilename):
    \def\outputfilename{\jobfilename -\getvariable{meta}{type}}
    \def\outputfilenametwo{\jobfilename -\getvariable{meta}{type}}

When displaying outputfilenametwo I see that it is filled with the
correct value, but the output is still written to the same file.
