very odd problem!
is it possible that an nrpe check is being executed at 9pm which is
changing the atime on the plugin directory thereby causing the agent
to check the Md5s? Does your nagios box run any specific checks on
those affected nodes at the same time you're seeing the puppet
oddness?
Cheers,
Andrew
