Thanks, that does help.

So, if my current environment, nodes, and roles directories are blends of ruby and json, would the best practice be to 'knife download" the json format files and just do a one-to-one replacement of them?

`knife download` can do this, provided you're using json instead of ruby format for environments, roles, etc. Generally it's best to pick one means of updating data on your server and sticking to it, though.
