Issue installing OpenNESS onPremise node - copy_configs_to_appliance.yml

[idirect-dev]

Context:
Starting with a centos 7 minimal install (on controller and edge node hosts),
I have cloned the experience kit.
git clone https://github.com/open-ness/openness-experience-kits.git
I modified group_vars/all.yml with my git token
I edited inventory.ini to match my configurations (controller and one node)
I've setup passwordless ssh and hostnames

I've run the deploy_onprem_controller.sh script
After some workarounds I've been able to deploy the controller.

When I try and deploy a node I get an error:
File: roles/openness/onprem/worker/tasks/subtasks/copy_configs_to_appliance.yml

TASK [openness/onprem/worker : copy files to /var/lib/appliance] ***************************************************************************************************
task path: /home/idirect/openness-experience-kits/roles/openness/onprem/worker/tasks/subtasks/copy_configs_to_appliance.yml:6
fatal: [mec-node]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Remote copy does not support recursive copy of directory: /opt/edgenode/configs"}

(Note that I had also previously commented #role: os_kernelrt in onprem_node.yml)
@idirect-dev, and commented #disable_includes roles/dpdk/tasks/main.yml)

It looks like this is not an issue - it probably related to the context in which the script was initially executed (perhaps sudo as opposed to root)
