Thanks for the feedback. My understanding is that the first part of the path has to be the location for the file server to do the lookup (as in the /etc/puppet/fileserver.conf file). Without this the puppetmaster would not know where to look for the files. Was this something that works for you?
My real concern is that the fileserver portion of the puppetmaster code is not properly handling a modulepath with multiple entries. Any ideas where I can verify this?
