Puppet 3 has hiera built in. The above may be the correct stack, but you
should verify -- it may be that one or both of the hiera pieces are for
Puppet 2, not Puppet 3.

Although it's not clear that that is wrong, it's definitely a strange way
of doing things in Puppet 3. Part of Puppet 3's integration with Hiera is
to automatically look up class parameters by name, via hiera, when you
declare classes using the 'include' function (or, I presume, the 'require'
function). And you should embrace that usage, because it overcomes some
serious limitations attending parametrized in Puppet 2.
What you're doing duplicates that, sort of. I'm not sure whether that's
the problem, but I suggest you start by arranging your data and/or your
parameter names to be consistent with Puppet 3's expectations for automatic
parameter lookup. Then remove the (mostly-)redundant default values from
your class parameter definitions. That should be a better setup anyway,
and if the problem persists at that point then at least you will have a
simpler system to debug.
