Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Note: this is the root cause of the 2 test_overrides failing.

Bug #2296: Multiple recursions with one root can overlap incorrectly

If you have two sets of recursions that are nested:
<pre>
file { "/tmp": recurse => true, owner => root }
file { "/tmp/foo": recurse => true, owner => bar }
</pre>
Then the current way recursion is done (get a complete recursive list from the 
server, and add all results to the catalog) can result in the less-specific 
directory (/tmp, in this case) winning, with all of the files and directories 
in /tmp/foo (in our example) getting ignored because they're duplicates of the 
first recursion.

This wasn't a problem in our old system because we hit the server separately 
for every directory.  Now that we've optimized it not to do that, we need to 
add in some specific exclusions so that we don't try to manage information that 
more specific resources are trying to manage.
