 localhost | FAILED => Authentication or permission failure.  In some
 cases, you may have been able to authenticate and did not have permissions
 on the remote directory. Consider changing the remote temp path in
 ansible.cfg to a path rooted in "/tmp". Failed command was: mkdir -p

 (reproduced with 'env' since cronspam doesn't go anywhere - #3131)

 Adding HOME=..:

 {{{
 $ env -i sh -c 'HOME=/home/bbinfra
 PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/home/bbinfra/bin
 ansible-pull -C master -d /home/bbinfra/repo/ -m git -U
 git://github.com/buildbot/buildbot-infra -o  -i localhost --vault-
 password-file=/home/bbinfra/.vault-password local.yml'
 Starting ansible-pull at 2015-01-01 00:23:14
 localhost | FAILED >> {
     "failed": true,
     "msg": "/usr/local/bin/python: not found\n",
     "parsed": false
 }
 }}}

 I really thought we had the second part licked :(

 It turns out, too, that `-i` uses a file if it finds a file by that name,
 and otherwise just treats its input as a hostname.  So we should 'cd' to
 the repo directory before running ansible-pull.
