Are you by chance using the version from the version from the testing
distribution (1.6.5-2)? As I got the errors too, but only on some of my hosts, I
tried the version from stable (1.6.5-1), and this solved the problem for me!

If it solves the problem for you too, we should file a bug report against
cfengine.
