Puppet users - Jul 2009 - parsing config from within external node scripts

Hi I would like to use

Puppet.parse_confg from within external nodes (or more specifically, trying
to parse the puppet config)

if I run the following from irb, everything is ok:

irb(main):005:0> require "puppet"
=> []
irb(main):006:0> Puppet.parse_config
=> [:main, :name, :memory, :cli]
irb(main):008:0> Puppet[:yamldir]
*=> "/var/lib/puppet/yaml"*

but from within an external node script, I get a different value:

..happy ruby code here
yaml_file =* Puppet[:yamldir]* << "/facts/" << hostname
<< ".yaml"
props = YAML::load_file( yaml_file )
...more happy code

returns: (yes I am running this as root!)
      No such file or directory - /root/.puppet/var/yaml/facts/SERVER.yaml
(Errno::ENOENT)

why does this param return* /root/.puppet/var/yaml* when called from within
puppet, where does it get this from?

any thoughts, maybe I am just using the wrong call, should I not be using
this?
