Hi Scott,
Welcome to the world of Cfengine!
Cfengine should not write a file unless the result of all operations
on it makes it different to the current version of it.
The verbose print just shows what is being done to construct an
internal representation of it.
To check that the file does not get written every time, just do a ls
-l and check the modification time before and after running cf-agent.
Good luck with your Cfengine setup.
