Den,
It was the second problem, not reverting all of my code. I still had a
drupal6::site with the alias parameter (which I renamed to not
conflict with the meta params to sitealias) set to
'scisoc.uwaterloo.ca'. After I changed alias to sitealias puppet ran
fine. It was hard to pin down from the error messages especially since
it seemed that the error would just associate itself to a random
resource within the drupal6 class and not on anyone thing in
specific.
Thanks for being a sounding board, it was appreciated!
Cheers,
