Bug #10586: Windows file provider produces error if source attribute used

If you have a file resource pulling content from a puppet: URL, windows file
provider gives error "Cannot convert Fixnum into string". The content is set
correctly, but the permissions are not.
C:\ems>puppet agent -t --environment=dev
info: Caching catalog for emscmdprd01
info: Applying configuration version '1320628565'
err:
/Stage[main]//Node[emscmdprddrsdd]/File[C:/ems/certs/id_rsa.key]/ensure: ch
ange from absent to file failed: Could not set 'file on ensure: can't
convert Fi
xnum into String at /etc/puppet/dev/manifests/nodes/systems/esg/ems.pp:160

C:\ems>puppet --version

Manifest shows:
node /^emscmd(prd|drs)\d\d$/ {
$mycerts = 'C:/ems/certs'
# This works
file { "$mycerts/readme.txt": ensure=>'file', mode=>'666',
group=>undef, owner=>'Administrators',
content=>"Certificates Managed by Puppet";
}
# This does not
file { "$mycerts/id_rsa.key": ensure=>'file', mode=>'666',
group=>undef, owner=>'Administrators',
source=>"puppet:///files/ssh-keys/sitescope.private",
}
}
I believe this might be connected with the Windows puppet agent attepting to
set group ownership based on the file metadata (IE its group ownership under
unix) and failing to make the conversion, but in any case this should give a
meaningful message or default. We also need clearer documentation as to
exactly what 'mode' means in the ACL world of Windows...
