I took a deeper look, and I can confirm that 'mongodb::replicaset' is being 
added to the run_list.

In de-composing the various AND conditions, we ran across an issue with the 
line that reads:

             recipes:mongodb\\:\\:replicaset AND \

I was wondering why this particular syntax was used (with the 
double-backslashes), instead of a syntax more like this:

             recipes[mongodb::replicaset] AND \

Or why that block is enclosed with double quote characters, where I 
understand that single-quote characters would remove the requirement for the 
backslash escape mechanism?

Thanks again!
