In that case, you need to understand that the manifest runs where the node's catalog is compiled, which in a client / server setup is on the server. That is not what you want for the kind of problem you describe. In general, the way to provide node state information to Puppet is via facts -- custom facts if those you need are not already provided by Facter. These are fairly easy to write and distribute.
