The problem is in one of the classes declared by class 'imageserver', not in nodes.pp itself. When you comment out the node declaration, no resource declarations remain for any node, so of course there is no error. You didn't say anything about the classes declared by class 'imageserver', so I can't be more specific than that. If I were to take a wild guess, however, it would be that somewhere in there you have a defined type that attempts to assign a value to a local variable $name. The variable names "name" and "title" are reserved inside defined types; for each instance, they are pre-assigned to the resource title, and like all puppet variables, their values cannot be reassigned.
