From this description, when you do that, MediaInfo shows no Rating tag in the file, and MinimServer also doesn't find a Rating tag in the file. This seems to indicate that Jaikoz didn't write the tag correctly.

Different file formats have different ways to do tagging. For m4a files, custom tags (such as Rating) should be written inside the '----' atom, and MinimServer reads this atom and its contents. It seems that Jaikoz isn't writing Rating information to this location. Can you ask on a Jaikoz forum for details of how Jaikoz writes Rating information inside an m4a file?

Thanks Simon,
This is the response from Jaikoz:
"
Hi, Jaikoz uses the rate tag, this was also used by Media Monkey at the time it was added. There is not a defined standard for ratings in mp4, the correct answer is most probably to use the most popular field but many players such as iTunes actually store ratings in a separate database rather than store the ratings in the files themselves which makes mapping ratings confusing.

There is currently no way to change this mapping in Jaikoz, I've created
http://www.jthink.net:8081/browse/JAIKOZ-504
to look into this further.

I'll see what I can do with this info. Thanks!
