Puppet users - Sep 2012 - Strange Behavior In Recursive File Transfer

I have the following resource definition:

class itbuilder
{
     file
     {
     "/home/itbuilder":
         ensure  => directory,
         recurse => true,
         source  => "puppet:///itbuilder/home/itbuilder",
         require => User ["itbuilder"],
         owner => itbuilder,
         group => itbuilder,
         ignore  => ".svn";
     }
}

In the modules/itbuilder/files/home/itbuilder directory I
have a whole bunch of files and directories. The directories
have protections like

drwxr-xr-x 4 jforrest jforrest    4096 Sep 15 16:21 licensing
drwxr-xr-x 4 jforrest jforrest    4096 Sep 15 16:21 login

However, when I run the class above, these directories are
created as

drwxr-sr-x 3 itbuilder itbuilder    4096 Sep 15 17:48 licensing
drwxr-sr-x 3 itbuilder itbuilder    4096 Sep 15 17:48 login

Note the setguid bit. I don''t know where this is coming from.
The protection of the directory containing these files is

$ ls -ld .
drwxr-x--- 22 itbuilder itbuilder 4096 Sep 15 17:48 .

which is correct.

I can manually change the directory permission to 0755

$ chmod g-s l*
$ ls -ld l*
drwxr-xr-x 4 jforrest jforrest 4096 Sep 15 16:21 licensing
drwxr-xr-x 4 jforrest jforrest 4096 Sep 15 16:21 login

But when I run puppet again, the permissions are
set back to 02755. What is setting the setguid bit?
I don''t understand this at all. I thought this might
be set by something in a higher scope but I couldn''t find it.

Adding

File
     {
         mode  => 644,
     }

to the class makes the problem go away but this really
isn''t a solution.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Cordially,
Jon Forrest
