remote-file troubles

[Robert Bergstrom]

Hello:

I am using the Ubuntu 14.04, VmFest (0.4.0-alpha.1), and Pallet 0.8.0-RC.9  to build a virtual machine. When attempting to use the remote-file action to transfer a local file, the local file arrives in the /tmp/<user> directory along with a MD5 checksum, but the file never gets copied to the correct remote path.  The Pallet log even shows the action executed successfully! I have tried force, overwrite-changes, and ownership variations with no success.  I've tried inspecting the generated script in the REPL but garnered little insight. Note, that if I use :content option, a file with the proper content is created. I just cannot transfer a local file. In addition, I am using the automated-admin-user crate, and I can ssh into the created VM.

Any thoughts on how debug this? Have I got an incompatible stack?

Seems strange, but there were quite a few changes in this area of the
code, so sometihng might have slipped through the net

Did you mean that you can't ssh in?

Hello Hugo:

No, ssh works fine, and the local file exists in the /tmp/<user> directory.  It just does not make it to the final path.
