Notify is a resource, notice() is a function. So notice() is evaluated on the
server, whereas notify{} is evaluated on the client.
My suspicion is that you somehow have two versions of the client binary hanging
around. Perhaps one that is running when you execute "puppet" at the shell, and
another running in the background.
Per Ken's question - how are you launching Puppet? Is it as a service? Or are
you running it from a cron job?
