Puppet users - Jul 2007 - Template errors

Hi,

I''m having a problem with templates and a remote node.  I have a
working
puppetserver and and puppet client (on the same server) which 
successfully runs my manifest(s) and now I''m trying to add a new client
on a separate server.  It all seems to work except for when I try to use 
templates.  For example :

   file {
      "/etc/apt/sources.list":
         content => template("apt/sources.list.erb");
   }

fails with :

err: 
//basenode/default/base/webserver/webserver-apache2/a.example.com/core-apt/File[/etc/cron-apt/config]/source:
change from {md5}da3d5245761eaf447c7f7c04b8574dcd to 
puppet://ops.rattleresearch.com/files/cron-apt/config failed: Could not 
find server puppet

I have defined the ''server'' parameter in my puppetd.conf on
the new
client and it successfully transfers files when using :

  file { "/etc/cron-apt/config":
    source => "puppet://$puppet_server/files/cron-apt/config"
  }

Seems strange it works on one client but not this one, can anybody 
suggest a reason why ?

Thanks,

Rob

Solved, it was affecting both hosts and it related to an overriding 
preference I had defined in site.pp (I''d borrowed from the best
practise
guide and not updated) :

filebucket { main: server => puppet }
