even with loop: "{{ users }}" there is no difference
I think you need to loop over {{ user }} and in path/dest use {{ item }}, the
default loop variable.

archive_home_dir.yml

- hosts: all
tasks:
- archive:
path: /home/{{ user }}
dest: /home/archive/{{ user }}.tar.gz
format: gz
loop: "{{ users }}"
it still creates
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 88 Nov 01 13:37 [u'user1',
u'user2'].tar.gz

Kenady,
I think you are looking to loop[1] the users correct?
aka
loop: "{{ users }}"
