Hi, Stefan. I can't reproduce this on my 2.6.4 machines. Here's what
I've got:

# moduledir/autoreqproblems/manifests/init.pp
class autoreqproblems {}

# moduledir/autoreqproblems/manifests/myfile.pp
class autoreqproblems::myfile {
    file {"/tmp/myfile":
        ensure => file,
        owner => "davexx",
    }
}

# moduledir/autoreqproblems/manifests/myuser.pp
class autoreqproblems::myuser {
    user {"davexx":
        home => '/home/someplace',
        ensure => present,
        managehome => true,
    }
}

# site.pp
node 'barn2.magpie.lan' {
    include autoreqproblems::myfile
}

[root@barn2]# puppet agent --test

Am I missing something? How can I reproduce your issue?
