Can you articulate what behaviour you would expect here? Puppet to move the 
existing directory?  Create a new empty one?

I'm running puppet on ubuntu hardy. puppet and puppetmaster are version 
0.25.4-4, build this morning.

I have several system user that puppet manages. I changed the location of one 
of the home directories, and though puppet changed /etc/passwd, and has 
managehome set to true, puppet did not create the new homedir. Moving system 
user homedirs around doesn't seem that uncommon to me, this behavior seems 
unfortunate. 

It looks like there's been some other discussion about this on puppet-users
