Sans,

This is probably because you don't have a process named ganglia-monitor
running on your system.

service { 'ganglia-monitor':
        ensure      => running,
        enable      => true,
        hasrestart => true,
# This says to look for a process called 'ganglia-monitor' if it doesn't
exist, the service isn't running.
        hasstatus  => false,
        #restart    => undef,
        subscribe  => File['gmond_conf'],
        require     => [ File['gmond_conf'], Package['ganglia-monitor'] ];
}

You'll need to add a custom 'status' command using the 'status' parameter.
Or fix the init script to work properly when called with 'status' and set
'hasstatus => true'.
