Re: copy happening despite my rules.

Some more info.

The machine I'm having problems on is damworker4ref3.  After changing
cf.copy to:
  copy:
    !damworker4ref3::
      /master/copy/samba/dam/smb.conf
        dest=/opt/samba/lib/smb.conf
        owner=root group=other mode=644
        type=checksum inform=true
        verify=true server=$(filehost)

I re-ran cfagent on damworker4ref3, it still tries to install
/opt/samba/lib/smb.conf

   [BEGIN InstallPending File Imaging:
IsInstallable(!damworker4ref3) - true

This makes no sense.  I've stated, I want /opt/samba/lib/smb.conf
installed on any machine but, damworker4ref3.  When I run it on
samworker4ref3, it gets installed.  Argh!!!  I've tried to make the
statements as simple as possible, but it still does not do what I want.
 Somehow I telling it to do the wrong thing and I just do not see it.

I even did an 'od' of cf.copy to see if there were any non-printing
characters in there.  Nothing.
