Hi,
This one is driving me crazy. Problem is Puppet try to start some
services (in this case zabbix-agent) before it is installed.
My puppet-master is Debian 5.05 with Puppet 2.6.0 (from squeeze).
Target system is FreeBSD 8.1 with Puppet 2.6.1 (from packages-8-
stable).
When I run puppet manually in debug-mode I get:
MASTER:
debug: Adding relationship from Package[zabbix-agent] to File[zabbix-
agent_conf] with 'before'
debug: Adding relationship from File[zabbix-agent_conf] to
Service[zabbix-agent] with 'before'
AGENT:
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderFreebsd: Executing '/usr/sbin/
pkg_info'
debug: Service[zabbix-agent](provider=freebsd): Could not find
zabbix_agentd in /etc/rc.d
debug: Service[zabbix-agent](provider=freebsd): Could not find
zabbix_agentd in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
debug: Service[zabbix-agent](provider=freebsd): Could not find
zabbix_agentd.sh in /etc/rc.d
debug: Service[zabbix-agent](provider=freebsd): Could not find
zabbix_agentd.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find init
script for 'zabbix_agentd'
1. try to restart both puppetd (client) and puppetmaster (server)
- just to be safe the error is not from a cache entry (though it
shouldn't happen like this)
2. if that didn't work, this might be a bug in the freebsd service
provider, then you should probably open a bug report
Make sure you do a fgrep "Service[zabbix-agent]" on the log file. The
provider might just be informing you that at startup the service isn't
there, and run after.
My modules init.pp-file looks like this (Debian-stuff is commented out
for troubleshooting):

Since you are a beginner, it might be useful to know that you can use
"puppet:///modules/zabbix-agent/$hostname/", if you don't already know that.

### Start service ###
#####################
service { zabbix-agent :
name => $operatingsystem ? {
freebsd => 'zabbix_agentd',
#debian => [""],
#default => [""],
},
require => Package['zabbix-agent'],
ensure => running,
enable => true,
}
}
Readability suggestion: move your parameters outside the file to a
zabbix-agent::params class. Take a look at the puppet labs apache module
on puppet forge for an example.
Good luck, ;)
