Locking problem maybe? Note the -K in my example.

$ cat test.cf
#!/usr/sbin/cfagent -qIKf
control: actionsequence = ( copy )
copy: /tmp/a dest=/tmp/b type=mtime
$ cp /etc/passwd /tmp/a
$ ./test.cf 
cfengine:: Copying from localhost:/tmp/a
cfengine:: Object /tmp/b had permission 600, changed it to 644
$ ./test.cf 
$ touch /tmp/a
$ ./test.cf 
cfengine:: Update of image /tmp/b from master /tmp/a on localhost
cfengine:: Object /tmp/b had permission 600, changed it to 644
$ 

That's all I can come up with... btw timestamps=preserve is default.
