"attr: i" failing on cent/rhel/oel6 -- why?

[John Harmon]

I am setting the immutable flag on a file (using template module).  It sets the immutable flag fine on cent/rhel7, but on cent/rhel/oel6 it complains.  I can set it manually on the *6 boxes just fine.  Wondering why you think this may be failing.  Seems like a bug with ansible to me:

ok: [ansibletest-rhel7]
fatal: [ansibletest-rhel6]: FAILED! =>
{"changed": false, "details": "Error while setting attributes:

...ignoring

Could it be SELinux related?
