Resource exists in state file, but still wants to be created on apply!

[joelmoss]

So this has only just started hapenning with no terraform changes...

Running plan always shows some resources that will be created on apply. Yet checking the state file I see that all such resources already exist.

When running apply, I get a warning like this...

[WARN] A duplicate Security Group rule was found. This may be
a side effect of a now-fixed Terraform issue causing two security groups with
identical attributes but different source_security_group_ids to overwrite each
other in the state. See https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/pull/2376 for more
information and instructions for recovery. Error message: the specified rule "peer: sg-0848b96e, TCP, from port: 19100, to port: 19100, ALLOW" already exists

The issue referenced above has no relation at all to this, because the resources already exist. I evene created them with Terraform.

So I'm really stumped. Is this a bug?

Also, not sure if it is the same issue as #2584. If I remove the real resources from AWS and apply with terraform, I no longer get the warning (as expected). And it says all was successful. But checking the statefile for those new resources, and they still do not exist, but they have been created successfully.
