Did you check whether you have multiple copies of the cookbook locally? Knife will combine cookbooks that exist in multiple locations in your cookbook paths into a single cookbook with one overlaid on the other. This feature is deprecated and supposed to trigger a warning, but I just discovered that the warning was inadvertently removed, so it’s possible that you are triggering this feature accidentally without knowing it.
