I think that the heat must be affecting me because this seems so simple but 
it's eluded me for too long now.

What I am trying to do is create a symlink from one directory to another AFTER 
the package is installed.

The error:
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
Invalid parameter mode at /etc/puppet/modules/firebird/manifests/service.pp:17 
on node ubuntu2.ttinet

Which I gather means that it can't create the symbolic link to a directory that 
doesn't exist yet but it could be my syntax and I have 
checked/rechecked/simplified but still...

class firebird::install {
  package { "firebird2.1-classic":
    name => "firebird2.1-classic",
    ensure => installed,
#    require => Class["firebird::configure"],
    notify  => Class["firebird::service", "firebird::configure"],
  }
  package { "firebird2.1-dev":
    name => "firebird2.1-dev",
    ensure => installed,
  }
}

class firebird::service {
  service { "firebird2.1-classic":
    ensure     => running,
    hasstatus  => true,
    hasrestart => true,
    enable     => true,
  }
  exec { "Create symlink for /var/fbdata":
    path        => "/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin",
    environment => "HOME=/root",
    user        => "root",
    group       => "root",
    mode        => 755,
    command     => "/bin/ln -s /var/lib/firebird/2.1/data /var/fbdata",
    refresh     => false,
#    unless      => "/bin/ls -l /var/fbdata",
    logoutput   => on_failure,
  }
}
