Reported by Leonard Chin:

I've narrowed down the problem to having my $SHELL set to a non-POSIX compatible shell (specifically "fish") after a few attempts with different users on different machines. Specifically, fish treats strings (escapes, primarily) slightly differently than POSIX shells do.

Thanks a lot for your investigation!

All potential solutions I can think of involve not passing in the YAML-marshalled host information as an argument (which is honestly rather ugly). * interprocess communication, e.g. druby (kinda ugly too) * passing the data in to AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges through a temporary intermediate file (the communicationsPipe argument).

I think the tmp file is the best solution then.
