puppet client server connection refused when I use puppet kick

[tomkap12]

I have very strange problem. I set up puppet client on serveral
servers but have problem with one of them.
When I invoke:

root@www ~ # puppet agent --server puppetmaster.domain.ltd --test
notice: Ignoring --listen on onetime run
info: Caching catalog for puppetclient.domain.ltd
info: Applying configuration version '1326444431'
notice: Finished catalog run in 3.15 seconds

everything works ok.
New changes are applied to system.

When I try to pull changes to client from server:

root@www ~ # puppet kick puppetclient.domain.ltd
I got errors on client's syslog:

Puppet master version 2.7.9

Puppet client version 2.7.6

[Rahul Khengare]

Check the parameter server = puppetmaster.example.org under the [main]  section in puppet.conf file. 

Otherwise puppet client trying to connect default host puppet when puppet agent being kick.
