When I expanded this to run on other systems, I ended up having to run the list command manually to set permissions as ' Get list of apps installed with cask' froze. I am guessing it needs to run as sudo?

I can confirm this as an issue.
I've tried a few things, and I've not been able to resolve it...

Just as an FYI, the main place I use this playbook is: https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook — I don't run as sudo in there, just as my normal user account...

This command works when run with localhost as the target, but not when run over SSH. At least in Ansible 1.9.2. The following command appears to work in both places

- name: Get list of apps installed with cask.
  command: >
    bash -l -c '{{ homebrew_brew_bin_path }}/brew cask list'
  register: homebrew_cask_list
  always_run: yes
  changed_when: false
