I'm trying to get a basic templating system working for several files,
and expand_scalars doesn't seem to work.  I've found serveral references
to other people having success with this, so I assume I've done
something wrong.  I'm running the cfengine 3.0.3 community RPM build.

Here's the basic code:  


bundle agent tmpl {

vars:
     hostname::
         "varA" string => "This is value Alpha";
         "varB" string => "This is value Bravo";

files:
     hostname::
         "/tmp/template"
             copy_from  => update_copy("${g.repo}/template",${g.policy_server});

         "/tmp/expanded"
             create        => 'true',
             edit_defaults => empty,
             edit_line     => expand_template("/tmp/template");
}

Both 'empty' and 'expand_template come from cfengine_stdlib.cf file
posted a few days ago.

The content of the 'template' file is simply two lines:

        The first variable:   ${varA}
        And the second:  ${varB}



I expect, after the expansion is done to have a file that looks like
this:

        The first variable:   This is value Alpha
        And the second:  This is value Bravo


But alas, the two files are identical after running cf-agent.

Below is the relevant output from --verbose.  The template file copies
over without problems, and the 'expanded' file is created, but no
interpolation appears to be done.

TIA,
