I'm seeing a recurring, nightly copy of files which are not changing.  I get 
the following message every night from tagmail.

1. It happens once per day (not every 30 minutes)
2. The files haven't changed in months
3. The files aren't changing -- there's only one md5 in the clientbucket for 
each file
4. There's no schedule on the resource
5. The files aren't changing on the disk.  I ran a loop which stores the md5 of 
the file every minute of the day, and it never varied. For this not to be 
caught, there would have to be an update of the file in the 60 seconds before 
puppet updated the file, timed exactly across a hundred+ systems.
6. This isn't affecting a single host.  It's affecting about a forty of more 
than five hundred.
7. No, there's really nothing running on that host which updates those files.

The resource is:

        file { 'pluginsdir':
                ensure  => directory,
                path    => '/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins',
                source  => 'puppet:///modules/nagios/plugins',
                ignore  => '.svn',
                recurse => true,
                replace => true,
                owner   => root,
                group   => root,
                purge   => false,
                mode    => 755,
        }

It happens every night around 9pm (4am UDT). EVERY night.
