You pass the options as a string but I see another problem here: You are
setting the title of the resource to "/gpfs20/home". The title can be
completly random (as long as it is unique) but it will also implicitly set
the name parameter as long as you don't overwrite it explicitly. The name
parameter determines the mountpoint. So I guess what you really want is

mount { '/chroot/centos5/home':
ensure => mounted,
device => '/gpfs20/home',
fstype => 'none',
options => 'rw,bind',
}

As you can see I omitted the name parameter (the mountpoint) because it is
implicitly set to the resource's title ("/chroot/centos5/home")
