I'm not sure why that inherently means you don't have root, but whatever.
So, supposing the issue is with
File["/home/user/rabbitmq-server-generic-unix-2.8.7.tar.gz"], it's not
immediately clear to me whether Puppet's behavior is correct here. It
seems to be defaulting the target group to 0 (since you don't specify a
group, that has to be coming in as a default). That's not documented
behavior, but it may still be intentional. On the other hand, it is usual
for the agent to run as root, which would mask this behavior. I would
suggest that you file a ticket.
In the mean time, I would try to work around the issue by adding a 'group'
parameter to the file that specifies the correct target group (presumably
the primary group of the user who is running Puppet).
Good luck,
John
