copy:: problem

[Pete Ehlke]

Folks:

Having an exceptionally odd issue with a copy:: stanza. Given this
fragment, copying files from one directory to another on $(policyhost)
itself:

        $(server_jar_dir)/saaj-api.jar dest=$(cots_lib_dir)/saaj-api.jar
                               r=inf
                               syslog=true
                               mode=$(readMode)
                               type=binary
                               server=$(policyhost)
                               trustkey=true
                               purge=false

        $(server_jar_dir)/commons-logging.jar 
dest=$(cots_lib_dir)/commons-logging.jar
                               r=inf
                               syslog=true
                               mode=$(readMode)
                               type=binary
                               server=$(policyhost)
                               trustkey=true
                               purge=false

        $(server_jar_dir)/saaj-ri.jar dest=$(cots_lib_dir)/saaj-ri.jar
                               r=inf
                               syslog=true
                               mode=$(readMode)
                               type=binary
                               server=$(policyhost)
                               trustkey=true
                               purge=false

Where $(server_jar_dir) expands to
/home/cmbuild/cvs-source/2004-01-19/server/jar/ and $(cots_lib_dir)
expands to /var/cfengine/files/sparc/psf/paytool_1_4_0_0/cots_lib/, the
first and second file both copy, but the third does not. The same
pattern holds if I swap the first and third directives: if saaj-ri.jar
is first and saaj-api.jar is third, saaj-ri.jar and commons-logging.jar
are copied, but saaj-api.jar is not. If I move commons-logging.jar up to
first place or down to third, the pattern follows the saaj-* files: the
first saaj-* jar is copied, but the second is not. This is logged at -d 2:

 (0/1 minutes elapsed)

If, however, I change the source file name for the second saaj-* file:

        $(server_jar_dir)/foo dest=$(cots_lib_dir)/saaj-ri.jar
                               r=inf
                               syslog=true
                               mode=$(readMode)
                               type=binary
                               server=$(policyhost)
                               trustkey=true
                               purge=false

then saaj-ri.jar is copied as expected.

But if I do this:

        $(server_jar_dir)/saaj-foo dest=$(cots_lib_dir)/saaj-ri.jar
                               r=inf
                               syslog=true
                               mode=$(readMode)
                               type=binary
                               server=$(policyhost)
                               trustkey=true
                               purge=false

Then the copy fails again.


Erm.... been looking at this for the better part of the morning, and I
confess I'm out of ideas.

Help?
