I know it's an old post but I had the same issue today, what I did is simple : changing my script that send my playbook from my local host to the server, before sending it with maven command, I did this :

cat common_vars.yml > vars.yml
cat snapshot_vars.yml >> vars.yml
# or 
#cat release_vars.yml >> vars.yml
mvn ....
