Hi Sorry, I meant that it actually sees the files. Those files do actually exist in the target boxes. So it seems strange or counterintuitive, that it can actually see the files, can 'stat' them, but can not get them...
As I said in my previous post, files are now backed up in any case. Now I can overwrite them with templates.... :) thanks On Friday, 20 June 2014 21:55:35 UTC+1, Michael DeHaan wrote: > > If you don't glob any files, the number of files globbed is 0. > > As for right files on right boxes, I don't know what you mean by that. > > > On Fri, Jun 20, 2014 at 3:36 AM, Makimoto Marakatti <[email protected] > <javascript:>> wrote: > >> Hi Brian, Michael >> >> Been reading about "with_fileglob", and yes, it apparently only works in >> the localhost or primary node (gotta be PC nowadays! :D ).
