See the documentation at:
<http://www.cfengine.org/docs/cfengine-Reference.html#Iteration-over-lists>

Basically, iteration over list variables isn't supported in the
directories action.  Also, you'd see some strange things using the
variable three times in an action.  The way iteration is implemented,
you'd see an action for every combination of values (3**4, or 4**3
possibilities?), not as you might think: 4 iterations where each use of
the list variable is replaced with the same value.
