Thanks for the regex fix. I am terrible at those, that probably took me 10 minutes to get that far...
And my environment has nothing declared with grep. I thought more about this, and I am thinking the problem might have come up when RHEL 5.7 came out. I tested on a few RHEL 6 boxes and this works fine. But I can't figure out what would have changed that still allows me to run it fine but puppet fails.
