Hi Kyle,
The source paths need to be accessible by the same user that
puppetmasterd is running as ... which is usually puppet. Some of those
files are owned by root and 700 or 600 so it can't read them:
> drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K 2011-07-05 07:39 autostart
Look at the error:

The error is on the server ... the point being, its not the client
permissions that you should be worried about.
Make the directory and its children (say .config) accessible to
puppet, probably by changing the owner (or a chmod - depends on what
you've got in these dirs) - and sort out applying the correct
permissions on the client with the file {} resource.
