Puppet users - Oct 2014 - Puppet directory environments mysteriously breaking -- help?

Hi all,

I am running a puppetmaster setup on CentOS. We have out production 
environment working fine. However, I am trying to migrate from puppet 3.4, 
and from config environments to directory environments. I got my 
environments tree all set up in the puppet master, but when I activate my 
directory environments, puppetmaster suddently can't see any modules or 
manifests -- it runs, but returns empty catalog for the agent, and 'puppet 
modules list' says I have no modules installed:

# puppet module list
/usr/share/puppet/modules (no modules installed)

None of the other global config files contain anything that references 
environments. My environment directory is set up correctly (it works on our 
production puppetmaster), and it works when I point the puppetmaster at it 
*explicitly*:

# puppet module 
--confdir=/etc/puppet/environments/production/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules 
list
/etc/puppet/environments/production/modules

├── apache (???)
├── awstats (???)
etc.

Here's my main config file, stripped of comments:

[main]
    certname=kmadmin102
    dns_alt_names=kmadmin102.vistaprint.net,test-kmpuppet,test-kmpuppet.
vistaprint.net,kmadmin102.vistaprint.net
    logdir = /var/log/puppet/
    rundir = /var/run/puppet
    ssldir = $vardir/ssl
    pluginsync = true
    certificate_revocation = false
    report = false
    configtimeout = 4m
    *environmentpath **= $confdir/**environments*
    default_manifest = $confdir/manifests
    basemodulepath = $confdir/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules
[agent]
    classfile = $vardir/classes.txt
    localconfig = $vardir/localconfig
[master]

Can someone see what I am doing wrong?

I also have PuppetDB installed, but that shouldn't affect 'puppet
modules
list' command. Puppet fails the same way with or without PuppetDB.
