"Next I want to read every line in that local file, connect to only those hosts specified, and run the script providing the dbname as an argument. "
Sounds like you should perhaps write a dynamic inventory script that understands this file, *OR* change your playbook1 system to generate something in ansible inventory format. However, you should be aware of concurrency issues of interlacing output. In general, avoiding dynamic generation of such files and using the "add_host" module might be easier.
