I tried that as well (noted in the original post). That's what generated the
error that I included.
Feb 11 17:18:40 puppet-bsd2 puppet-agent[68963]: Could not run Puppet
configuration client: Could not find dependency File[/opt/home/2/dev/] for
Exec[create-device-/opt/home/2/dev/null] at
/usr/local/etc/puppet/production/modules/devices/manifests/init.pp:12
It seems that the problem is that Puppet is expanding the variable in the
'require' but has not yet expanded the variable in the file{} block, and so
can't find the file resource to create the dependency tree.

This is exactly what I posted. It's my actual manifests stripped down to just
the basics required to demonstrate the problem.

Okay. Now that I know this is supposed to work, I'll go ahead and file a bug
report. Thanks.
