Hey Toshio! Thanks for your reply.
Since these are production machines, I can only use 1.7.2 at the moment.
However, I installed the newest ppa version (1.9.2) on a VM cluster to test.
The error stills pops up. The error happens when it tries running the first
task from the second playbook. However, commenting that task out just makes
the error pop up in the next task. So I believe it's already carrying it
from the first playbook, after completing the "Check if new upstart job is
needed" task.
The LC and LANG settings are "en_US.UTF-8" in the remote box.
-vvvv doesn't give me much new info. Here's the compressed output when the
error occurs:
*ok: [anakin] => {"changed": false, "gid": 0, "group": "root", "mode":
"0644", "owner": "root", "path": "/etc/init/syslog-ng.conf", "size": 615,

I noticed the error happens regardless of the variable.changed being true
or false.
Let me know what other info you might need.
Thanks a lot for your help!
