ok, that helped, and now i have a different problem.
if you've got control over the docs, maybe make the tidy/recurse section
like the file/recurse section, in that it lists valid values. I thought
they'd be the same.
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#file
recurse
Whether and how deeply to do recursive management. Valid values are
true, false, inf. Values can also match (?-mix:^[0-9]+$).
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#tidy
recurse
If target is a directory, recursively descend into the directory looking
for files to tidy.
thanks,
jayen

If I remember correctly, recurse => inf doesn't work (this goes back to at
least a 0.1x release) and you need to use recurse => true instead. Try
that, and if it works then at least everyone knows the source of the
problem. <grin>
