[chef] Issues with Template Files after upgrading to Chef 10.6

[Zuhaib Siddique < >]

So for some reason the following block of code stop working in Chef 10.6 on a 
ubuntu server:

  template "/tmp/oxygen/properties.map" do
      source "INT.properties.map.erb"
      owner "root"
      group "root"
      mode 0644
                variables(
                :webname => node[:hostname],
                            :mysql_password => "#{mysql_pass}",
                            :data_db => "DB_Host",
                            :rs_db => "DB_HOST",
                            :weblink => "URL"
                )
           only_if {environment == "int_environment"}
    end

but if I change the following: 

  template "/tmp/properties.map" do

it starts working.  Now the folder its uploaded too is created by chef:

   FileUtils.mkdir_p("/tmp/oxygen/")

But on the system I am testing the recipe on I made the directory manually 
yet still it won't upload the file.  From the log it looks like it just skips 
over template like the if condition does not match but thats not the case.  
The weird thing is on another system that has 10.4 installed it works as 
expected.  The only change has been upgraded to 10.6 on my personal system 
that I run knife on (and in turn the new systems get 10.6).
