Yes, yum info iftop on the test node shows:

Available Packages
Name       : iftop
Arch       : x86_64
Version    : 0.17
Release    : 1.el5.rf
Size       : 46 k
Repo       : misc
Summary    : Display bandwidth usage on an interface
URL        : http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pdw/iftop/
License    : GPL
Description: iftop does for network usage what top(1) does for CPU usage. 
It listens
           : to network traffic on a named interface and displays a table 
of current
           : bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts. Handy for answering the 
question
           : "why is our ADSL link so slow?".

Guess that means something else is going on. Probably a dumb syntax error 
or something on my part. I'll keep at it and post the solution when I find 
it. I wonder if creating a manifest.pp file and then running puppet apply 
manifest.pp will show any extra info? Don't even know if that is a valid 
troubleshooting step. 

Thanks for all the replies everyone.
