berkshelf task in Rakefile doesn't respect org_cookbook paths

[westbywest]

Using ironfan-homebase, current master branch, with an open source Chef server.

Running "bundle exec rake berkshelf" causes our custom cookbooks stored in ./org_cookbooks to be erroneously copied over to ./cookbooks as well, with the latter not being under version control. This happens despite org_cookbooks being defined in config/Berksfile.inc.rb and org_cookbooks added to cookbook_path in .chef/knife.rb .

Is this a known limitation of the version of berkshelf presently bundled w/ ironfan-homebase? Or, is there a preferred way to run the full_sync task in Rakefile (which runs the berkshelf task) so that the contents of org_cookbooks stay put?
