Bug #16167: "warning: Cannot manage ownership unless running as root" - but
only on 2nd and later invocations...

Affected Puppet version: 2.6.2

Branch:
I am in fact intentionally running as non-root. All files of interest are owned
by the same user.
If I use puppet to copy a source -> destination, it works fine the first time.
Delete the destination and try again => get a warning. Delete the destination
*and ~/.puppet* and try again => all is fine again.
Reproduction recipe:
$ rm -rf /tmp/source /tmp/destination ~/.puppet/
$ touch /tmp/source
# First time no warning
$ puppet -e 'file { "/tmp/destination": ensure => present, source =>
"/tmp/source" }'
notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/destination]/ensure: defined content as
'{md5}d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e'
$ rm /tmp/destination
# Why do I get a warning here
$ puppet -e 'file { "/tmp/destination": ensure => present, source =>
"/tmp/source" }'
warning: Cannot manage ownership unless running as root
notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/destination]/ensure: defined content as
'{md5}d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e'
# Actually only necessary to delete ~/.puppet/var/state/state.yaml
$ rm -rf /tmp/destination ~/.puppet/
# But not here
$ puppet -e 'file { "/tmp/destination": ensure => present, source =>
"/tmp/source" }'
notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/destination]/ensure: defined content as
'{md5}d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e'
Version information: Debian Squeeze
$ puppet --version
2.6.2
$ dpkg-query -W | grep puppet
puppet 2.6.2-5+squeeze6
puppet-common 2.6.2-5+squeeze6
I haven't actually tried it on newer versions of puppet (if I do then I'll
update the bug), but regardless - it seems to be valid for 2.6.2 at least.
