Thoughts?
The agent (i.e. puppetd) needs to run privileged. It sounds like you are starting it manually, so are you running it as root or via sudo? Alternatively, if your master is running SELinux in enforcing mode, then it is possible that starting the agent manually does not confer the same privileges that running it as a service does. You can test this by switching to permissive mode. Or is /var [on a] read-only filesystem? That's a long shot, because such a situation would probably cause a lot of other problems system- wide.
