BACKGROUND:

I had this all working fine with puppet installed from rpms.  I wanted to move away from this and have our repo, and the puppet source pulling from a git pull so that its easier to merge, and give back.  Since pulling down the repo from reductivelabs, and adding the new paths, it seems that its not finding things anymore.   Not really sure why?
