This looks good except for one point: You have "protected" the default_repository => "/var/rudder/modified-files" definition with "linux::". This means there won't be one on Windows, which is clearly not consistent.
Can you not add another case for windows, using a different path?

Unfortunately, it doesn't work on Windows... I tried and failed to obtain something, hence I removed it in Windows to prevent errors

Argh, that's very unfortunate!
Could you at least comment that in the "source code" so we know? Ideally, we need a bug report at bug.cfengine.com and it's reference too.

I've checked with the latest Nova revision, and it does work with it. So i've added it back

Ah, except that this ticket was in the wrong place. There is a special category for our system policies in the Rudder project, as they are inherently tied to Rudder itself.
