Puppet users - Oct 2008 - File user / group settings don't appear to be taking effect

Hello, all!  I''m a brand new user of puppet, so this question might be
a little obvious, but I did do my homework, I swear :)

I''ve got this line in site.pp:

file { "/etc/hosts": source =>
"puppet:///configuration/hosts", owner
=> root, group => root, mode => 644 }

my file mount sits in /etc/puppet/files/configuration.  Everything is
owned by the user "puppet"

On another machine, when I go run puppet to apply the configuration, I
get this error message:

root@market-db1:~ $ puppetd  --waitforcert 60 --test
info: Caching catalog at /var/puppet/state/localconfig.yaml
notice: Starting catalog run
notice: //Node[market-db1]/marketserver/puppetclient/File[/etc/puppet/
puppet.conf]/owner: user 509 does not exist
err: //Node[market-db1]/marketserver/puppetclient/File[/etc/puppet/
puppet.conf]/group: change from root to 509 failed: Could not find
group(s) 509
err: //Node[market-db1]/marketserver
/File[/etc/hosts]/group: change from root to 509 failed: Could not
find group(s) 509
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.75 seconds

On my puppetmaster server, user puppet is 509.  On the puppet slave,
there is no puppet account.  It appears to be trying to match the
owner / group of the file as is on the puppetmasters file repository,
before applying the owner / group specified in the site manifest file.

Anyone ran into this?  Am I overlooking something completely?


Thanks!
