It strikes me oddly that the master appears to have successfully compiled the catalog, but the agent doesn't like the result. Is the node running a newer version of Puppet than the master? Even 2.7.3 vs. 2.7.1? Even if you upgraded the master at the same time you updated the client, you might need to restart the puppetmaster service to actually get the new version running. The error message itself appears to be complaining about a resource poperty named 'options'. The only two built-in resource types that are documented to have such a property are 'mount' and 'ssh_authorized_key'. The latter resource explicitly specifies that multiple options must be provided as an array, which aligns pretty well with the error message you received. I would generally expect (perhaps unjustifiedly) that any 2.7.x client would work correctly with any 2.7.x master. If, therefore, the behavior change indeed arose from the upgrade then it is worthwhile filing a bug report, if only for documentary purposes.
