Looking at your manifest more closely, I see that the File resources
you are managing are named without a trailing slash, for example
"$homedir/${service_num}/dev", but the directory parameters you are
passing to your define are specified *with* a trailing slash, i.e.
"$homedir/${service_num}/dev/". The error message shows that the
missing resource is File[/opt/home/2/dev/] (with a trailing slash),
which indeed you have not declared. Although the two forms are
generally handed equivalently by the shell, I can fully believe that
Puppet does not consider it safe to treat them equivalently.
Try removing the trailing slashes from your directory names. I think
that will solve your problem.
