I'm pretty sure that, besides the other answers already provided, your main 
problem is the wrong user for your Puppet configuration. It should be user 
'puppet' and not 'root'. That's how '/etc/puppet' should look like:

drwxr-xr-x  5 puppet puppet 4.0K Dec 12 17:48 .
drwxr-xr-x 79 root   root    12K Dec 26 04:03 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 puppet puppet 3.1K Dec 12 17:48 auth.conf
drwxr-xr-x  6 puppet puppet 4.0K Dec 12 17:48 environments
drwxr-xr-x  3 puppet puppet 4.0K Dec 12 17:48 manifests
-rw-r--r--  1 puppet puppet  838 Dec 12 17:48 namespaceauth.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 puppet puppet 1.8K Dec 12 17:48 puppet.conf
drwxr-xr-x  6 puppet puppet 4.0K Dec 30 08:20 .svn

So a command like 'chown -R puppet:puppet /etc/puppet' issued as 'root' should 
solve your main problem which is the 'Permission denied' error as well as the 
non starting Puppet process.
