I've not yet seen this kind of error yet.

delegate_to does not take lists, groups.control is a list, you need to
give it a single item or use with_items to cycle through the list.

In any case this is a bug as you should not get a traceback, but a
nice error message that tells you something similar to what i said
above.

Ah, yes. Thanks!

This should be fixed in 2.0 (current devel)
