Hi Tim,
We were unable to reproduce the above situation, and this message is
different, it's basically saying that the input is missing. So to me this
seems like a new, but unreported issue.
ignore_errors basically only deals with the return of the module, so what I
think we need to do here is explicitly check ignore_errors in the action
plugin when the files are missing, so that this can work. Long story short
is action_plugins are fiddly beasts that don't always have all the native
behavior for things like 'ignore_errors' and we occasionally have to make
those work with some extra code.
If you would like to open a new ticket in GitHub we can take care of this.
The temporary workaround might be to put a ".dir" file or something in each
directory, so it can find something to transfer, though I agree that's not
obvious or optimal long term.
