I bet that /etc/puppet/ssl/ca or some part of it is owned by root, not the user puppet, and that is what is causing your problem here. I can't verify in more detail right now as my code access is limited, but that looks like the right root cause of the problem. You might overall be better using the existing RHEL packages for puppet: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Puppet_Red_Hat_Centos They better integrate and support the whole thing, and will make it easier to get updates in future.
