2.1.2 Cron Module

[Taylor Swann]

Running into an issue on my Ubuntu 14.04 EC2 instances.  I install ansible via user data and apt-get.  When I invoke ansible-pull in my user data I'm seeing this failure:

<127.0.0.1> ESTABLISH LOCAL CONNECTION FOR USER: root

An exception occurred during task execution. The full traceback is:

If I login to my instance after this failure and run the ansible-pull command manually it proceeds without failure, due to this I'm assuming it's related to this bugfix:

Anyone else seeing this issue?
