Copy iterators and destinations

[Chip Seraphine]

I'm trying to use an iterator to copy a list of files, but I am unsure 
of how the syntax for the destination should look.  I assumed that I 
would send them to a directory, but cfengine doesn't like that (2.0.6).

So how am I supposed to use an iterator to copy around a list of files?


control:
        x = ( filename1 )
        y = ( filename2 )
        xystring = ( "$(x):$(y)" )
        actionsequence = ( copy  )

copy:
        /tmp/$(xystring)        dest=/var/tmp/

cfengine:sausage: image exists but destination type is silly 
(file/dir/link doesn't match)
cfengine:sausage: source=/tmp/filename1, dest=/var/tmp
cfengine:sausage: image exists but destination type is silly 
(file/dir/link doesn't match)
cfengine:sausage: source=/tmp/filename2, dest=/var/tmp


/var/tmp/ is a valid directory (not a symlink).

Here's the -d2 output, but it doesn't say much more...

Actionsequence item copy

Help would be appreciated.
