As Lee mentioned File.exists? checks your local filesystem not the
remote filesystem you need to do something like:
run "if [ -f #{previous_release}/db/promotions ]; then cp -r
#{previous_release}/db/promotions #{latest_release}/db/; fi"
But really it looks like you might want to consider making promotions
a symlink to the shared directory. That way you don't have to copy it
each time. Just make sure a symlink is created to the new
release_path. (Note that if you convert to this, you have to copy over
your promotions to the new shared directory.
run "mkdir -p #{shared_path}/promotions; ln -sfT
#{shared_path}/promotions #{latest_release}/db/promotions'"
