[chef] Re: Why am I getting this error from net-scp?

Hi,

>       source    = cmd.stdout

My guess is your output has a newline attached to it.  Since newlines
are valid characters in filenames, there is no reason for this to
raise an error before the file can't be found.  Try:

    source = cmd.stdout.chomp

Cheers,

Steven
