Regarding my initial query, the problem was that the subdirs & files were
also declared as separate resources, and hence I had to explicitly mention
owner & group for each of them individually.
@Tore: Have no clue about the purge option. Did go through the docs, but not

me a scenario to better comprehend the purge option ? Not sure but probably
purge=false is a failsafe option ?
