[ansible-project] "Unable to open shell" when not running playbook as sudo

[Bryan Bartik]

I have a playbook that backups router configs using the ios_config module. 
When I run the command as sudo it works but the files it creates are owned 
by root. I want them owned by me. However when I run the ansible-playbook 
command without sudo it fails and gives the errors below. Any ideas what I 
need to change to get this to work?

bryan@ubuntu:~/mine/cfg-backup$ ansible-playbook -vvv cfg-backup.yml
...
<192.168.9.201> using connection plugin network_cli
<192.168.9.202> using connection plugin network_cli
