Sorry, I don't understand what "useless information is", you will need to be more specific.
I also don't understand the set_fact part of the above commentary, or what you wanted it to work like when you say it didn't work like you wanted to. The synchronize module is available if you'd like a nice wrapper around rsync, though I'm not clear on what you want to do that it does not provide. Let me know. Thanks!
