Puppet users - Oct 2010 - problem w/ puppet & augeus : xinetd.d/rsync server_args value

Hello,

I would like to have the following line (among others) in my 
/etc/xinetd.d/rsync file :

   server_args = --daemon --address=<ipaddress_eth0> 
--log-file=/var/log/rsyncd.log

To this end, i am using the camptocamp rsyncd module available from git. 
  Everything works except this line.  I thought it was, perhaps, a 
questions of spaces (this has been discussed on the list before), but 
according to the documentation here :
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Puppet_Augeas

All that i should need to do is to enclose the space-filled value in 
quotes, like so :

"set server_args/value ''--daemon --address=$ipaddress_eth0 
--log-file=/var/log/rsyncd.log''"

A verbose puppetd run says this :

debug: Augeas[enable rsync service](provider=augeas): sending command 
''set'' with params
["/files/etc/xinetd.d/rsync/rsync/server_args/value",
"--daemon --address=10.101.0.3 --log-file=/var/log/rsyncd.log"]
debug: Augeas[enable rsync service](provider=augeas): Closed the augeas 
connection
err: //rsyncd/Augeas[enable rsync service]/returns: change from 
need_to_run to 0 failed: Save failed with return code false
notice: //xinetd/Service[xinetd]: Dependency augeas[enable rsync 
service] has 1 failures

I have tried many combinations of quotes, including that suggested here 
(though, to be clear, i don''t want actual quotes to appear in the file)
:
http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/msg/748d5036ad80dd4f

I''ve tried escaping the spaces and escaping the slashes in the log-file
component too (just in case) - no dice.

Any ideas ?

$ rpm -qa | egrep -i "(puppet|augeas)"
augeas-libs-0.7.3-1.el5
ruby-augeas-0.3.0-1.el5
puppet-0.25.5-1.el5
augeas-0.7.3-1.el5

Thank you.

That looks more or less correct. Have you experimented with augtool to see if
anything works there? Some quick poking around makes me think "value"
won''t work. You might need to say "value[1]" or
"value[last()]" or something.

Looking further, here''s an example from `tftp`:

    /files/etc/xinetd.d/tftp/tftp/server_args
    /files/etc/xinetd.d/tftp/tftp/server_args/value[1] = "-s"
    /files/etc/xinetd.d/tftp/tftp/server_args/value[2] = "/tftpboot"

You might need to assign each one individually, like

    value[1] ''--daemon''
    value[2] ''--address=$ipaddress_eth0''
    value[3] ''--log-file=/var/log/rsyncd.log''
