Could the problem be the variable name : "group" ? That is a Puppet Type
Try changing it. Hope this helps.

Selectors (the feature you are trying to use) have been in the Puppet language for a long time, and they work fine all over the place. I doubt there are many Puppet sites that don't use them. What strikes me as odd is that the Puppet parser complains about the '=' sign, which is not part of the selector expression. Do you still get the error with something like class ssh::params { $ssh_package_name = 'ssh' } ? Does it help (or change anything) if you put the whole selector expression in parentheses? Is there any chance that you are getting unexpected (by Puppet) non-printing characters in your manifest files when you create them via I/O redirection as you show? That wouldn't happen in the POSIX or C locale, but perhaps it could in some other locales, under some circumstances.
