That sounds like the behavior that would be expected with "purge => true".
I didn't think that was the default, but perhaps you have a resource
default override in scope. If you want to purge unmanaged files, then it
is sufficient to enable purging for only File['/usr/local/nagios'];
enabling it also for File['/usr/local/nagios/libexec'] (or any other
subdirectory) will have the result you describe, because the latter
resource is applied independently of the former.
Overall, it is unwise to manage the same physical resource via more than
one Puppet logical resources, which is what you are doing with directory
/usr/local/nagios/libexec. If you can come up with an alternative approach
to avoid that problem then you would be better off.
