I'm not sure this is how subscribe is supposed to work.
Try changing
- owner
- group
- mode
of your directory prior to the puppet run. That should trigger the
subscription. Also, remove the entire dir.
Seeing as puppet is not managing contents, I don't think adding a file
or otherwise chaging the checksum will trigger subscriptions.
As to how you can make this work in the general case, I have no idea.
