Puppet users - Jul 2008 - autofs service status weirdness (centos 5)

Is anyone else getting a weird message from puppetd when managing autofs 
as a Service?

my manifest uses:

<<
     service { autofs:
         ensure => running,
         enable => true,
         require => Package[autofs]
     }
 >>

however puppetd prints out:

<<
Jul  8 12:35:32 host puppetd[25862]: 
(//Node[basenode]/autofs/Service[autofs]/ensure) change from stopped to 
running failed: Could not start Service[autofs]: Execution of 
''/etc/init.d/autofs start'' returned 256:  at 
/etc/puppet/modules/autofs/manifests/init.pp:13
 >>

yet when i check the status from a prompt:

<<
[root@host ~]# service autofs status
automount (pid 2926) is running...
[root@host ~]# echo $?
0
 >>

If I add "hasstatus => true" to the Service, it doesn''t
print the error.
But the service doesn''t reload when it gets a notify from my defines!
So
weird.

*Every* one of my other Services works fine with the exact same syntax 
as the one shown above, so I can''t imagine what would cause this.

I''m running 0.24.4, but it''s been an issue since 0.24.1.

Never mind. I keep thinking it will use the init script status by 
default, if it can. Guess that''s what I get for trying to fix it at
3am.

Unless you explicitly set ''hasstatus'', it will assume that the
service
is broken and try and do ps -ef|grep ${name}

you could use:
        service { autofs:
                ensure => true,
                pattern => "automount",
                restart => "/etc/init.d/autofs reload",
                require => Package[autofs],
        }
to match automount vs. autofs on the ps test
