Puppet users - Nov 2012 - vcsrepo: Could not create repository (non-repository at path)

Hi,
I''m running into a problem using the puppetlabs provided
vcsrepo-module. It
keeps giving the same error:

--------------
notice: /Stage[main]//Vcsrepo[/usr/share/test2]/ensure: Creating repository 
from latest
err: /Stage[main]//Vcsrepo[/usr/share/test2]/ensure: change from absent to 
latest failed: Could not create repository (non-repository at path)
--------------

This is in my vcs.pp and when I run, puppet apply ./vcs.pp
I keep getting the error below. When I run git clone as the user it runs 
fine.
Anybody any suggestions?

--------------
Exec { path => "/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin", }

vcsrepo { ''/usr/share/test2'':
                ensure   => latest,
                provider => git,
                revision => ''master'',
                path    => ''/usr/share/test2'',
                user     => "user",
                source => 
''git://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-vcsrepo.git''
            }

I suggest running with the --debug flag turned on and then comparing
the git commands that Puppet is executing to the commands you execute
manually.  I suspect there''s a slight difference that''s
causing the
wrong directory to be used by Puppet or something.

If you''re still stuck, could you please follow up in this thread with
the debug output and the git command you''re executing manually?  This
information should help us troubleshoot the issue more quickly.

Does /usr/share/test2 already exist prior to the Vcsrepo resource being
enforced on your system?

I can''t find the appropriate bug against vcsrepo right now (
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/modules/issues?query_id=185) but I
suspect that this problem stems from a bug where vcsrepo wants to be the
one to create the test2 directory and cannot.

If this turns out to be your problem, I''ll find/create a bug report on
it
and send it your way. Sorry for the inconvenience.
