So I think the core issue at this point is that no matter where I try to set PACKAGESITE (on the server via rc, on the client via rc, on the shell via overrides) the path to the ftp server always returns:
Error: /Stage[main]/Rsync/Package[net/rsync]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Execution of '/usr/sbin/pkg_add -f ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/%2Fpub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/All/rsync-3.0.9_3.tbz' returned 1: pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/ The url is bad/wrong. For some reason it is injecting this %2F in front of pub where it SHOULD just be /pub/.... How and where is this getting set and how can I change it?
