Puppet users - Jan 2013 - Puppet error while serving /etc/sudoers file using puppet

I am trying to update /etc/sudoers file using puppet. Here is the init.pp
function doing:

define sudoers() {
        file { "/etc/sudoers":
        owner  => root,
        group  => root,
        mode   => 440,
        source => $operatingsystem ? {
                "CentOS" =>
filelookup("users/sudoers-centos"),
                default => filelookup("users/sudoers"),
            },
      }

While running puppet I am getting the error:

err:
/Stage[main]//Node[tcp-handler-base]/Users::Sudoers[sudoers-file]/File[/etc/sudoers]/content:
change from {md5}0897462d4d48fb9dedaafbaf91a9ceae to
{md5}3298e302080d0e63a5697dd39556ca66 failed: Could not rename temporary
file /etc/sudoers.puppettmp_8514 to /etc/sudoers: Operation not permitted -
/etc/sudoers.puppettmp_8514 or /etc/sudoers at
/etc/puppet/modules/users/manifests/init.pp:60

The persmission of /etc/sudoers file is 0440.

Can someone help in solving this.

Are you running puppet as ''root'' user? Also are you using
SELinux?
