Your mvn.bat script is trying to invoke cmd, but failing because the
PATH environment is not correct, see more below.

Just a side note, since ruby is a 32-bit executable, file system
redirection takes effect, causing puppet to launch the 32-bit cmd.exe.
This may or may not be an issue for you depending on what you are
trying to do. There's more info here[1]

Puppet doesn't expand environment variables the way you are thinking.
Change that to:

  path => "C:/Users/agopalakrishnan/Software/apache-maven-2.2.1/bin;${path}",

When compiling the catalog, the `path` parameter (for the exec
resource) will be interpolated using the `path` fact as reported by
the agent. More about using variables here[2]

Hi , 

  I am new to Puppet and I just started testing it out in my windows machine to do a set of tasks which I do manually currently and once I get the hang of it would like to use it for provisioning later. My current task is pretty simple:

1. Run an svn update command on a folder

2. Run maven install command

3. ... a whole bunch of other tasks related to setting up a custom server on a users machine.

However , when I run an exec like the below, I can see that the maven runs successfully  but the task fails at the end as shown below:
