Puppet users - Jun 2013 - Error 400 on SERVER: No such file or directory - getcwd

Hi

fully expecting to have done something silly here but am struggling to debug why
I am getting the error:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: No
such file or directory - getcwd at /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp:2 on node
my.domain.net

the line in question is getting a custom module which has not changed recently.

I was installing
http://www.practicalclouds.com/content/guide/pclouds-vcsdeploy-deploy-stuff and
having some permissions issues, so I think this may well be to do with
permissions. However I am at a loss as to what as everything looks to be ok.

Puppet Master and two client nodes on Debian Wheezy, the clients both return
this error. Puppet version 3.2.1 on all 3.

Any suggestions as to where to start debugging this?

I debugged this same 400 error with ''getcwd'' in my 2.7.18
version of
puppet.  I did not find useful information through web searches, so posted 
my debugging steps here: http://jaroker.com/?p=2036

In my case, the puppet master had been operating normally for over a year. 
I had recently updated my Eclipse IDE and created new manifests. The IDE 
used non UTF-8 encoding on these new files. Subsequent puppet runs on 
various nodes produced this 400-getcwd error:  "puppet:  Could not retrieve
catalog from remote server Error 400 on SERVER “Could not parse for 
environment...” getcwd"

In my case, the solution was to identify DOS-encoded files on the master 
and convert them to unix.
