Puppet users - Jul 2011 - pluginsync fails to load custom facts or providers

possibly related to (or the same as) issues 4830 and 2244, i''m getting
errors when adding a custom fact and provider to a module to propagate
to clients.

am i missing something here? i tried the workaround of adding a
fileserver.conf to the master (referenced below and in the tickets)
with no change.

thanks for any help.

here''s a pile of details:

puppetmaster 2.6.9 is running standalone (no apache/passenger) on
centos 5.5 with ruby 1.8.7 (2010-06-23 patchlevel 299) [i386-linux]).
master was upgraded from possibly an earlier 2.6.x release, but it
never ran 0.25.x.

agent is running on os x 10.6.8, puppet 2.6.7, stock ruby 1.8.7.

the custom fact and vcsrepo provider are dumped in a module''s lib dir
like so:

/etc/puppet/modules/growl/
|-- files
|   `-- tmp
|       `-- GROWL
|-- lib
|   |-- facter
|   |   `-- facter_dot_d.rb
|   `-- puppet
|       |-- provider
|       |   |-- vcsrepo
|       |   |   |-- bzr.rb
|       |   |   |-- cvs.rb
|       |   |   |-- git.rb
|       |   |   |-- hg.rb
|       |   |   `-- svn.rb
|       |   `-- vcsrepo.rb
|       `-- type
|           `-- vcsrepo.rb
|-- manifests
|   `-- init.pp
`-- templates

init.pp basically just runs a couple of execs to pop up notifications
and drops file under /tmp. it''s basically not doing much of anything.
the node definition includes growl, which works fine. everything
except caching the custom fact and provider works.
