Puppet users - Sep 2010 - err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Invalid parameter stage at ...

Hi, I am getting the following error on my CentOS clients;

err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Invalid parameter
stage at /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp:32

The server is CentOS 5.4 with packages from the epel-puppet repos;
# rpm -qa | grep puppet
puppet-dashboard-1.0.3-3
puppet-2.6.1-0.3.rc3.el5
puppet-server-2.6.1-0.3.rc3.el5

The clients are;
# rpm -qa | grep puppet
puppet-0.25.5-1.el5

and my code to bootstrap the puppet install in nodes.pp looks like
this;

node default {
	include puppet
	if versioncmp($puppetversion, ''2.6.0'') < 0 {
			case $operatingsystem {
				CentOS: {
				notice(''In the centos cases'')
					file { "/etc/puppet/puppet.conf":
						owner => root,
						group => root,
						mode => 644,
						source => "puppet:///bpcommon/basenode/etc/puppet/puppet-
centos.conf",
**line 32				}
				}
				debian: {
					file { "/etc/puppet/puppet.conf":
						owner => root,
						group => root,
						mode => 644,
						source => "puppet:///bpcommon/basenode/etc/puppet/
puppet.deb.conf",
					}
				}
			}
	}
}



any suggestions what the error is about, I am guessing that the server
is providing a stage parameter which the client is rejecting. but I
was under the impression the server should work with older clients..

Any Suggesions?
