[chef] problem with file downloads

[Grzegorz Marszałek < >]

Hello!

Problem:
each time I run chef-client winscp.exe file is downloaded. It's about 6MB. 

Environment:
I've got following recipe:

cookbook_file "#{dfclient}/bin/winscp.exe" do
  source "winscp.exe"
  backup false
end

dfclient is in libraray, in form:

ef dfclient
  ENV["DFCLIENT"].gsub("\\",::File::SEPARATOR)
end

my client.rb is:

require 'win32ole'
WIN32OLE.codepage = WIN32OLE::CP_UTF8
log_level :info
log_location STDOUT
chef_server_url "http://xxx:4000";
validation_client_name "chef-validator"
validation_key  "C:/df/etc/chef/validation.pem"
client_key  "C:/df/etc/chef/client.pem"
node_name "0000-dragonfly.GRAF0-KOMPUTER"
file_cache_path "C:/df/var/cache/chef/files"
file_backup_path "C:/df/var/cache/chef/backups"
checksum_path "C:/df/var/cache/chef/checksums"

all directories exists and are writeable for chef-client user (it's SYSTEM).

system is windows 7 enterprise, ruby version: ruby 1.8.7 (2010-12-23 
patchlevel 330) [i386-mingw32], chef - I tried 0.9.12 and 0.9.14-beta.1. No 
other recipes are run on that node.

First approach was to use cookbook_file to download a bunch of installers 
from server - but unfortunately, those installers were downloaded EACH time I 
run chef-client. I've got following log entries at INFO level:

[Fri, 11 Feb 2011 14:28:02 +0100] INFO: Starting Chef Run (Version

Any ideas, what is wrong?
