It looks like your provider isn't valid - you haven't provided (heh) a
name for it.
My guess is that you're using an older version of Puppet that's not
correctly showing the error that comes up with that code, so your type
isn't getting the provider which means it's not seeing those methods.
Try 'ruby -rpuppet </path/to/file>' to make sure your provider works.
