Troubles with update.conf

[Guillaume Rousse]

The following file doesn't work when used as update.conf, meaning files 
are not copied from the master host. Curiously, just turning it into an 
cfagent.conf make it work, but then I loose the main interest of 
update/cfagent separation. What is the problem ?

Output of cfagent -v -q follows.
