And Puppet was able to execute it too (but see also below); that's how
it found that the exit status was 1.  Puppet expects scripts to follow
the Unix convention of exiting with status 0 when they are
successful.  Any other exit status indicates a failure of some kind.
When a command executed by a Puppet Exec exits with an error status,
the Exec fails.

I observe also, however, that the error message you report does not
appear to exactly match your Exec resource: the error message claims
to have run /usr/bin/start, whereas the exec gives the command as /usr/
bin/start.sh.  These are not equivalent, so I'm not sure what's going
on here.
