I use a workaround with an always existing empty file, like:
source => [
"puppet:///path/file.$hostname",
"puppet:///shared/dummy_empty_file_for_workaround"
]
where that dummy_empty_file_for_workaround always exists in the shared fs
mount and is size 0 (i.e. empty).
This is not always suitable I guess, but I haven't found a better way.
