Hi all,

I’m having trouble using the Ansible synchronize module between a vagrant box and a remote host. Meanwhile, I can use the same module between two remote hosts without issue.

I’ve opened a new Stack Overflow question for the problem, with the full details. This is backed up with a Github repo that will allow anyone to see the code in context, and even reproduce it themselves if they so wish.

I hope that by posting here, I might give it some more exposure.

Best,  
Patrick
