[...] That is very strange. Puppet should never manage the same resource twice in the same catalog run, and in any given run, Puppet should never modify the same property of the same resource more than once. These are such fundamental Puppet principles that I'm inclined to guess that rather than Puppet doing either of the above, it is instead managing two distinct (from its perspective) resources that somehow resolve to the same physical resource. > Has anyone ever had this problem before?

You could also look at the cached catalog to verify that there are indeed two file resources corresponding to the given file; if so, then it is conceivable that comparing them will reveal the nature of the collision. In any event, it may be that running the agent with --debug output enabled will provide useful additional information.
