remote\_file 'copyfile2' do  
source 'file:////myshare/chef\_file\_create.ps1'  
path 'c:/temp/chef\_file\_create.ps1'  
end

This worked fine once after that it errors out with permissions denied. i even tried adding atomic\_update false like one post suggested.  
tried file:/// instead of file://// but still no luck  
Any ideas?
