Now that is curious.

What I find really strange about this - is that the checksums are the
same between _some_ of the various files. Original and resultant
checksums as well ...

But this isn't consistent:

Notice check_http is different?

Similar checksums would imply the files are the same.

What is the real md5sum of say these 4 files on the source and
destination? Can we say an 'ls -l' of those files just for curiosity
sake? Source and destination? I don't know what this is - just looking
for more 'data' :-).

What version of Puppet are you running on the master and agents? I'm
guessing you're running the agent as a daemon correct?

ken.
