Okay, found the problem with the symlinks. Apparently the access control
is getting confused. I've allowed access with
admit:
cfengine_server::
/directory *.domain.com
But the copy directive says
class::
/symlink_to_directory
This works with regular files contained in /directory but not with
symlinks to files in the same directory. I changed the copy directive to
use the actual directory and not the symlink to it and it works fine.
This seems like a bug to me.
