try using my fork (https://github.com/thewebfellas/chef-user/) - i made a change in this area when i was using it, and i think it was for the same reason - i.e. that it wasn't doing anything - give it a try, see if it helps

@chris-at-thewebfellas Thanks a lot, you saved my day

I believe the reason this isn't working is because the users attribute on the node is empty. When using the user::data_bag recipe, you need to set the equivalent on your node:

default['users'] = ['user', 'admin', 'person']
