On a file that exists, Only adds "Step 1".
On a file that does not exist, creates it and only adds "Step 1"

-v shows it acknowleges the existance of phase2, but does nothing.

-d reports an db error relating to locking

The -d 1 output:

This has been tried on 3 different hosts - 1 solaris, 1 redhat linux, 1
debian linux, debian's cfengine (2.0.1) being installed via apt than from
source (2.0.3 for the others). All 3 report the same error.
