Here's a quick pointer to the couple of problems I see; if they're not
sufficient, then please let me know.

This should normally be "require 'foo'" (lower-case, to match the case
of the file name), but most importantly, you need to put the custom
type in lib/puppet/type (not the singular).

If you're not getting an error, then Puppet is either not seeing the
code above, it's seeing a defined type (written in Puppet's language,
rather than ruby) with the same name, or it's seeing the custom type
but the type isn't doing what you want.
There's essentially no way for Puppet to not find the type in question
but not have an error either, and you should be able to confirm that
by looking int he localconfig.yaml file -- if that append_if_...
resource is in that file, then you've got a functional problem with
your type, if it's not, then, um, something ridiculous is happening.
Either way, you should have an error from Puppet if Puppet can't find
that type.
