First of all it isn't a great idea to use recursive if there are a lot of
files/directories. Puppet does a pretty bad job on that, and it will eat
your CPU. It is better to launch external program such as: rsync to perform
this function. However if you only have few directories or files this is
fine.
It sounds like you have a permission problem.
