Most trivial site.pp throwing errors

[Sam K]

Hello All.

  My very first post and a Super-noob puppet user checking in.  I have been using puppet for just a week or so and have had moderate success with 2 ubuntu master/agent setup.

  Now, I want to test it on a production system, but its driving me nuts.  I have a Ubuntu 12.04 system running puppetmaster and a couple of Redhat 6.0 running the agent.  I have them talking and both can ping by FQDN, IP, etc. the master was able to find and sign the agent's certificate as well.  I am trying to create/delete a username called katie. 

This site.pp works perfectly!

user { 'katie':
        ensure => 'present',
        home => '/home/katie-home',
        shell => '/bin/csh'
}

While this does work on this node, on another node, it does not even work. 

class add-user {

        user { 'katie':
                ensure => 'present',
                home => '/home/katie-home',
                shell => '/bin/csh'
        }
}

node 'bb10-x64-rhel60' {
        import add-user
}

But most annoying is this error.  Why is this error coming up and why does it work even with errors.

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at 'add-user'; expected '}' at /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:11 on node bb10-x64-rhel60

On the agent, each time I modify site.pp, I am running 'puppet agent --no-daemonize --onetime --verbose'

Thanks
Sam

 No help?  Anyone have any ideas why I'm getting this error.

You must use 'include' and not 'import' here. 'import' can only specify files, not classes. See the docs here: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_import.html

On the agent, each time I modify site.pp, I am running 'puppet agent --no-daemonize --onetime --verbose'

Thanks
Sam
