Retrieving pluginfacts?

[Bret Wortman]

This is new to our environment and is only occurring on a handful of systems:

When they run puppet agent, we see this:

# puppet agent -t

Info: Retrieving pluginfacts

Error: /File[/var/lib/puppet/facts.d]: Failed to generate additional resources using 'eval_generate': Error 400 on SERVER: Not authorized to call search on /file_metadata/pluginfacts with {:links=>"manage", :recurse=>true, :Ignore=>[".svn", "CVS", ".git"], :checksum_type=>"md5"}

Error: /File[/var/lib/puppet/facts.d]: Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet://zgepetto.foo.net/pluginfacts: Error 400 on SERVER: Not authorized to call find on /file_metadata/pluginfacts with {:links=>"manage", :source_permissions=>"use"}

Wrapped exception:

The pupet agent run then proceeds to complete as normal.

I've never seen "pluginfacts" before. Is this something new, or is something awry in our server's config? Why are we only seeing this on a sparse few systems?

Ever find a solution to this? I'm running into this same problem right now.
