Is there a way to use the ‘copy’ module, or an equivalent, to copy files from one spot to another on the target host?
Right now, I’m trying to use ‘command’ or ‘shell’, but I’m running into issues with unusable choking on an asterisk, and I have to use several lines to copy, set ownership, set perms, etc.
not currently, but it sounds like a useful feature.
You can start a discussion in ansible-devel mailing list or open a ticket in github (http://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core for the project to implement the feature.

Two shell tasks with "tar -c" and "tar -x"?

If you want to preserve permissions; or you could run a command that pipes
one to the other; or you could run a command that runs an rsync preserving
permissions.
If you want to copy a file and *change* the permissions, that could be
harder. Maybe the 'install' command?
