When you use "puppet://" the file is not sent in the manifest. It's saying it
can't get the file using the puppet protocol.
This is happening because I made a typo in my example. The "files" part of the
path shouldn't be there. Also, there is no need to tell puppet which server to
get the file from.
Try 'puppet:///modules/webspheremq/status.dat' instead.
Note: Using 3 slashes in a row tells the client to get the file from the same
location as the manifest.
