Why file fail when directory exists?

[leam hall]

I'm creating a mount point for an ISO image, and a later task puts the mount point in fstab. Why is the file module erroring after the ISO is mounted? The directory exists so the task shouldn't try to recreate it.

Figured it out; the playbook was trying to make the directory permission 0755 when the mounted fs is 0555.
