Before, the script was working on cfengine1.7 on FAI 2.7(?) on Sarge.
Now, I'm migrating our scripts to a new server based on cfengine2 and
FAI 3.1.8, which come with Debian Etch.

I've turned on cfagent to be verbose, and during copy nothing actually
happens:

    Begin editing /tmp/target/etc/fstab

On the other had, after almost all of the action is done, I have some
"Checking" messages:

    / any

which I don't understand.

It's already in the any section of cfagent:

    copy:

       any::

        ### The files to get click up and running

        ${files}/click/linux-2.6.19.2-click070516.tar.bz2   
    dest=${target}/usr/src/linux-2.6.19.2-click070516.tar.bz2

        m=644 o=root g=root

        ${files}/click/click070516.tar.bz2             
    dest=${target}/usr/src/click070516.tar.bz2

        m=644 o=root g=root

        ${files}/click/click_cvs-070516-1.deb             
    dest=${target}/usr/src/click_cvs-070516-1.deb

        m=644 o=root g=root

is the part that doesn't seem to do what it should.
