Try changing the URL to this: puppet:///bash/bash_profile That is, drop the "modules" part of the path. You can read that URL as something like: file "bash_profile" from the "bash" module, located on the Puppet server from which the current catalog was obtained. File names are relative to the "files" subdirectory of the named module, so it looks like you have the file itself in the right place. As Patrick pointed out, the file *and all directories in the path to it* do need to be readable by the puppetmaster process, and the directories need to be executable by it.
