Puppet users - Jan 2009 - Noob - What means "Cannot access mount[plugins]" ?

Hi,

I''m new to Puppet.
I installed Puppet on Debian Lenny (version is 0.24.5).

When I''m trying to use puppet locally (on the machine I installed
puppetmaster on), I keep getting messages such as :
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional resources
during transaction: Cannot access mount[plugins]
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to retrieve current state of
resource: Cannot access mount[plugins] Could not describe /plugins: Cannot

What does it mean ?

Cheers

puppet.conf is :
[main]
logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
rundir=/var/run/puppet
factpath=$vardir/lib/facter
pluginsync=true
server=panoramix.perenip.lan

[puppetmasterd]
templatedir=/var/lib/puppet/templates
#templatedir=/etc/puppet/templates

fileserver.conf is:
# This file consists of arbitrarily named sections/modules
# defining where files are served from and to whom

# Define a section ''files''
# Adapt the allow/deny settings to your needs. Order
# for allow/deny does not matter, allow always takes precedence
# over deny
[files]
  path /etc/puppet/files
#  allow *.example.com
#  deny *.evil.example.com
#  allow 192.168.0.0/24

[plugins]
#  allow *.example.com
#  deny *.evil.example.com
#  allow 192.168.0.0/24

You need to specify a path there.

What it''s actually *used* for, I''m not at all clear.
