Puppet users - May 2011 - Plugins don't work the way I think they do?

Hi all,
I''m trying to configure a set of network interfaces, so I downloaded
the
puppet-network module from the module forge.  I enabled plugin sync per
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/plugins_in_modules.htm and added the
module to my module path, but I''m getting an ''invalid resource
type'' error
indicating that the custom type included in the module isn''t found. 
Can you
help me figure out what I''ve missed?

Puppet:
puppet --version
2.6.6

The error:
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid
resource type network_config at
/usr/share/puppet/environments/testing/modules/cluster/manifests/testcluster1.pp:35


The call:
class cluster::testcluster1 ($system_ip, $cluster_ip) {
    include network
    network_config { "bond0":
        type                => "Bonding",
        bonding_module_opts => "mode=6 miimon=100",
        bootproto           => "none",
        onboot              => "yes",
        netmask             => "255.255.255.0",
        ipaddr              => $system_ip,
    }
    network_config { "eth0": master => "bond0", slave
=> "yes" }
    network_config { "eth1": master => "bond0", slave
=> "yes" }
} # class cluster::testcluster1

Basically, Puppet has two parts.  The Type, which must be used during
catalog compiliation (usually done on the server), and on the client.  The
provider uses your type to do all the useful stuff on the client. 
You''re
probably getting this error because the server can''t find the type when
it
tries to compile the catalog.

The Type and Provider are both in the network module, which is in my module
path.  I''ve performed an ''include network'' from the
cluster class which is
where I''m trying to use them.  Just for grins, I also tried copying the
entire lib/puppet structure from the network module to the cluster module so
the custom type & provider information would be local to the cluster
module.  This didn''t work either.  What else should I check?

### From Server puppet.conf
# cat /etc/puppet/puppet.conf
[main]
    pluginsync = true

### From Client puppet.conf
 # cat /etc/puppet/puppet.conf
[main]
    pluginsync = true

### The directory structure containing the custom type & provider
/usr/share/puppet/environments/testing/modules/network/lib/puppet
 # tree -fi
.
./provider
./provider/network_config
./provider/network_config/interfaces.rb
./provider/network_config/network_scripts.rb
./provider/network_interface
./provider/network_interface/ip.rb
./type
./type/network_config.rb
./type/network_interface.rb
