You've got to think about it from the servers perspective ... its going to see many File["list-update"] resources ... one for each machine in fact. Which is why you're getting that error. Each machines definition is trying to overwrite the other: @@file { "list-updates": ensure => present

I would do more experimentation on your resource temporarily to find the problem. For example: * Set 'ensure' explicitly to 'file'. Not a var (or remove it entirely if you are unsure). If it is interpreting that as a path it will try to install a symbolic link which may be giving you the error you
