Thanks for the prompt response - it's appreciated.

Yeah, that's what I figured.  Should it create the directory if it's
not present?
It didn't (assuming it fired), but creating the directory by hand
didn't change anything.

Duly noted - I did start off this exercise using the official cookbook
(via "cookbook site install"), but cloning the unofficial repo seemed
to make for a cleaner example.  I should have noted this in my
original post.

If the preference is to clone github.com/opscode/cookbooks as a whole,
I'll stick with that in future to avoid confusion.

Cheers,
