You don't have an issue. ;)

You mistakenly thought that YAML was intended for human consumption,
which is absolutely not the case.  That is a secondary priority,
following on from "fully serialize a graph of objects".

So, those are references to already defined values, and are emitted to
allow shared object references and/or compress memory consumption.
Your data contains multiple references to the same object, and YAML
reflected that.

Nothing to worry about here.  Those should expand when loaded correctly.

That, though, could be a problem.  Are you saying that when you use
mcollective it sees `&id001` as the value of that fact?  Can you show
how you are invoking mcollective, and a demonstration of the output
around the problem?

Also, which versions of Ruby, and MCollective, are you using?
