As Nigel indicated, the exit code for your init script is not what
puppet expects, it is not a file permission problem.
As Nigel suggested, shut down your service then run this:
/etc/init.d/zabbix_agent start ; echo $?
And tell us what number is printed on the screen. If it prints 1, that
would explain your Puppet error message. Not sure what operating
system you use, but init scripts SHOULD return 0 when they run
successfully. If your init script is returning 1 on success, it's
broken.
