Subject: Error creating a directory (use forcedirs=true)

I was attempting to create a homedir and then a .ssh direcctory, but I goofed
up and made a file instead of a directory.
files:
any::
"/home/rsync"
perms => mog("700","rsync","rsync"),
comment => "Make rsync homedir",
forcedirs => "true",
create => "true";
"/home/rsync/.ssh/"
perms => mog("700","rsync","rsync"),
comment => "Make .ssh for rsync",
create => "true";
When I fixed things by adding the final / to the paths, I got this error:
cf-agent -K
Cannot make /home/rsync/.ssh - /home/rsync is not a directory! (use
forcedirs=true)
So I tried forcedirs:
# cf-agent -K
cf3> /var/cfengine/inputs/linux_q.cf:10,23: Constraint lvalue 'forcedirs' is
not allowed in bundle category 'files', near token 'true"'
I don't find anything in cfengine 3 about forcedirs (but I'm still getting used
to the new docs.) I did find move_obstructions in files.
Am I searching wrong? Or or is this a confusing error message?
Thanks,
Bill
