If its a pure ruby provider, try running something like 'puppet agent -t --pluginsync' on the server first, so it gets synced there. Then try your client again.
The problem is your server isn't scanning your modulepath for types ... its expecting types to be in its own libdir first. Hence why an pluginsync is needed ... ken.
