Sample config: 

        file { "/var/www/apps":
                mode    => 0644,
                owner   => "username"
                group   => "groupname",
                ensure  => directory,
                recurse => true,
                purge   => true,
                force   => true,
        }


Then on the agent: 

root@vpsXXX:/var/www/apps# ls
root@vpsXXX:/var/www/apps# touch testfile
root@vpsXXX:/var/www/apps# puppet agent -t
Warning: Local environment: "production" doesn't match server specified 
node environment "development", switching agent to "development".

So, is this a known bug, by design, or something that I should figure out 
how to file a bug report for? 

I can work around it easily enough, but it seems like a recursive, forced, 
purge shouldn't be stymied by a 0 byte file. neh?
