It is probably in issue in your init.pp file on the master (because that appears to be where you declare File[/home/user/unix.tar.gz]). The manifest leads Puppet to believe that the target file is supposed to have group 0, but changing the downloaded file's group requires the agent to run as root.
If you post the declaration of that file, then we may be able to tell you more. I have a question, though: what is the purpose of having this run by an unprivileged user in the first place?
