I made a mistake – it’s not “for whatever reason the file cannot be copied” ...
but it happens (at least) when I can’t open the remote file (permission denied).

When I use the fetch module (with or without using become, which is
contra-indicated but I have no choice), and for whatever reason the file cannot

Thanks.
