Hi Stefan,

By verbose run output I mean the output of `cf-agent --verbose'.

What is the value of `truong'?

Really, I want to be able to run a standalone example that allows me to
replicate the issue so that I can better see what is happening.

Actually, I don't think I need verbose or the value of `truong'.

I was able to get the error message using this policy:

So, the policy specified recursion up to 3 levels. Bilder looks to be
the third level, but perhaps something is counting the basedir as level
1, making bilder the 4th level deep.

I don't see any specific mention in the [depth searches (aka
'recursion') during searches] notes from the files promise type docs.

The [`depth' attribute in `depth_search' bodies] does not mention
anything specifically either, though it does indicate an allowed input
range starting at zero. So perhaps the Error message is being emitted
because of an off by one error.

Indeed, altering the depth to 4 results in the error vanishing.

I am unsure why switching from `default:perms_cp' to
`default:no_backup_dcp' resulted in suppressing the error for you. When
I tried that I still get the error and in both cases, there is no
content under the bilder directory though the directory itself was
created.

Still, I am unsure why it errors. I don't see an /error/.Seems like
perhaps this should instead be a /verbose/ log.
