Kai, I just wanted to say thanks for your help in pointing out where I went wrong. Setting the play that was contending for a single file to serial: 1 did the trick. When our ansible controller gets upgraded to 2.9 I'll use throttle to limit just that one task.
Everything is working as expected, and better than it was before. Thanks again.
