I'm getting an error when using the copy action when specifying a sudo_user. Here's an example playbook:

- hosts: myserver
  sudo: True
  sudo_user: lorin
  tasks:
    - name: ensure .gitconfig file is present
      copy: src=files/.gitconfig dest=/home/lorin/.gitconfig

Running this returns the following error:

TASK: [ensure .gitconfig file is present] *************************************
failed: [myserver] => {"failed": true}
msg: Could not replace file: /tmp/ansible-1375213714.07-124608323343148/source to /home/lorin/.gitconfig: [Errno 13] Permission denied

Error reproduces when sudo_user is attached to either the play or the task.

I did a git-bisect, and the commit that introduced the commit appears to be dafbcf8

Let's not categorize regression or not regression, you have a bug report :)

Fix sudo_user copy regression

Treat errno 13 (permission denied) as one of the special cases in
atomic_move.

This type of error can occur because of sudo'ing to non-root user.

Fixes #3705
