Okay, now I look at the failure - the action is a list action, but it's 
not failing *because* it's a list action, it's failing because it didn't 
construct the right rule for the *first* action string. The tool does 
have a mapping of some of the special action functions (Copy included, 
but not Chmod), but doesn't seem to be doing the right thing with that 
information. So that example is broken on two levels... sigh.
