Puppet users - Mar 2013 - Basic stuff, I can't seem to get right, Could not retrieve information from environment production source(s)

I really hate to bother everyone with with something I''m sure is super 
basic, but I''m stumped.

I''ve read the module serving guide, I checked my syntax with
puppet-lint, I
think I have everything in place, yet I keep getting the same error:

I was thinking there was some sort of permissions error somewhere? But 
since I''m running as root, I don''t think that''s
likely, plus I have even
777 the sshd_config to test. Here is my site.pp, if anyone can look it over 
and at least point me in the right direction it would be greatly 
appreciated. I''ve already scoured this forum, but I think I''m
missing
something.

Might be an auth.conf problem. Have you changed anything in there?

No, I''ve never looked at it before. Should it be changed or remain 
unchanged? Or configured to allow one to access modules?

If you haven''t touched it, it should be fine. Other things to keep in
mind:

The puppetmaster is probably running as the user puppet, not root, and even 
if the file itself is readable by all, the intervening directories might be 
more restrictive.

To amplify a bit, in case it''s unclear: even though the error is
reported
on the client, it occurs on the master.   The fact that the agent is 
running as root is irrelevant.  It appears to me that the agent is 
successfully retrieving a catalog (running the agent with debug messages 
turned on should confirm), so your manifest syntax is fine.  What appears 
to be happening is a failure when the agent requests the sshd_config 
content from the master''s built-in file server.  Very likely either the
master process is prevented from reading the file, or else the file is not 
located where the master is looking for it in the first place.
