For completeness, I solved this myself by using a template instead of
trying to do this all within a manifest:
#!/bin/sh
<% databases.each do |db| -%>
<%= "mysqldump --user admin #{db} | gzip > mysql-#{db}-`date +%Y%m%d`.gz" %>
<% end -%>
<% remote_dest.each do |rd| -%>
<%= "rsync -arzv #{bkp_dest} #{rd}" %>
<% end -%>
And the manifest then simplifies to:
file { "backup-script":
ensure => present,
path => $mysql-backup-script,
content => template('backups/backup-mysql.erb'),
mode => 744,
owner => "root",
group => "root",
}
cron { "backup-mysql":
command => $mysql-backup-script,
hour => 1,
minute => 20,
require => File['backup-script'],
}
