Puppet just doesn't work well moving big files. Also, 0.24 is much worse for
this than 0.25. Using an apt repository or wget in an exec would probably be
better. If you really want to try to make this work your way, here are two
things to check though:
1) Is the puppet-setup directory being created before you pull he file?
2) Is the file in a module, if so you need to put the module name in the file
path.
Here's an easy way to create a custom repository:

A second option is using wget. The wget recipe would look something like this
(pesudo-code):
Exec { "wget http://servername/ruby-enterprise_1.8.7-2010.01_amd64.deb":
creates => "/root/puppet-setup/ruby-enterprise_1.8.7-2010.01_amd64.deb",
working_path => "/root/puppet-setup/",
}
