Puppet users - Oct 2014 - Hiera No implicit conversion of string into hash

Hi,

I've got a fresh new puppet installation running but I can't seem to get
hiera working with the following setup:

OS: RHEL 6.5
Puppet Master: 3.7.1
Ruby: 2.0.0-p576
Hiera: 1.3.4


HIERA.YAML

Hiera.yaml
---
:hierarchy:
- "%{environment}"
- "common"
:backends:
- yaml
:yaml:
  :datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradan


/ETC/PUPPET/HIERADAN/LOCAL.YAML

---
linux-tempdirectory: '/tmp/'
windows-tempdirectory: 'C:\Temp'

Running the following command fails:
# hiera 'windows-tempdirectory' --config /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml --debug
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p576/gems/hiera-1.3.4/lib/hiera/config.rb:29:in

        from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p576/bin/hiera:23:in `load'

        from 
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p576/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:15:in
`<main>'

I have "local" set in my agent environment setting.

Any ideas what this could be as I'm really stuck with this at the moment?

Thanks

Dan
