I've had this problem for a while now, but I haven't seen anyone else discuss it on the list so I'm not sure if it is a bug or I'm somehow Doing It Wrong.

When recursively copying (r=inf)a directory from a cfengine server with 'purge' and 'verify' both set to true, the agent likes to destroy the filename.cfnew files before they are moved over the targets. Kinda annoying, because in practice it means I can't do purges on directories with really important files in them. This has been going on for at least as long as I've been using cfengine (2.0.5 or so).

Let me know if anyone is unable to reproduce this and I'll post some debug output.
