My problem isn’t “the file didn’t copy”.  I know why the file didn’t copy.

The question is, why did a zero-length destination file appear when the file 
didn’t copy?  If the file didn’t copy, then my destination should not exist.

I think not using become is what is killing you.  iptables is definitely only 
readable by root.  Try turning "become" back on.

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 
be copied, the local machine still creates a zero-length file.  Is there a way 
to disable this behavior?

Thanks.
