[2.0] tracebacks with no information?

[Slim Slam]

Ansible 2.0

I've got a fairly large hierarchy of nested Ansible scripts. 

When I run the main playbook:

$ ansible-playbook -vvvv build.yml

I get this giant traceback which contains, as far as I can see, no specific information about where in *my* code there

is an issue. Am I missing something here?

$ ansible-playbook -vvvv build.yml

Using ../config/ansible.cfg as config file
Unexpected Exception: error while splitting arguments, either an unbalanced jinja2 block or quotes
the full traceback was:
