Subject: file permissions anomaly

Hello,
files:
"/etc/default/cfengine3"
comment => "CFEngine defaults file for init.d for $(sys.fqhost)",
copy_from => copy("${v.datadir}/any/etc/default/cfengine3"),
perms => file("root", "root", "0644");
[...]
body copy_from copy(from)
{
source => "$(from)";
servers => { "$(v.master)" };
compare => "digest";
preserve => "true";
verify => "true";
encrypt => "true";
purge => "false";
trustkey => "false";
copy_backup => "false";
}
The file "${v.datadir}/any/etc/default/cfengine3" on the Master already has
permissions 644.
Now "cf-agent -KI -v" produces:
[...]

/var/cfengine/data/any/etc/default/cfengine3 check

cf3> -> /etc/default/cfengine3 wasn't at destination (copying)

The first thing:
Although I use "preserve => "true";" and the file on the Master already has
permissions 644, why CFEngine does the first "Object /etc/default/cfengine3 had
permission 600, changed it to 644"?
Secondly:
After this CFEngine once again does a "Object /etc/default/cfengine3 had
permission 0, changed it to 644". I wonder why?
Best wishes
Michael
