Puppet users - Jan 2013 - cleaning up nodes with exported resources

Hi,
I''m developing my modules for managing the env with puppet and I have
this
problem.

I use exported resources.
Much like the following example:

node a {
    @@file { "/tmp/foo": content => "fjskfjs\n", tag
=> "foofile", }
}
node b {
    File <<| tag == ''foofile'' |>>
}

(I use the database resource, but for sake of ease even the file will do)

It happens that the exported resource has wrong value inside (in the case of the
DB maybe the hosname of the user) I have difficulty in fixing the problem since
it seems (but may be me that does not understand the things completely) that it
keeps the old values or in the following runs it generates a new exported
resource that lives with the other, it does not substitute it.

This make a mess in the mysql since I find many user accounts on the DB.

Any idea on how to correctly use the exported resources in a developing 
environment and on how to correctly clean up stuff?

I''m on puppet 3 and using stored config.
Thanks
Luca

Ok my fault for unclean situation.
After dropping the user in the DB and "COMMITTING" the modified node
to the
environment the exported resource got modified and rthere is only one and 
not many.
Obviously users created in the DB stay there if created wrongly.
