My immediate gut feeling on this would be network not Puppet being the
issue actually, especially if another client is having success at
doing the sync.

Its a virt so it could be hypervisor drivers or some other issue, its
an old version of the kernel as well - its more likely to happen -
although I haven't seen it myself lately :-). Run something like
'iperf' on both ends to confirm your getting the right kind of network
performance, compare that performance to your Ubuntu target ... and
check out netstat -in for errors etc. etc.

Check to make sure the right VirtualBox hypervisor drivers were
installed when building your Centos vagrant box btw
(VBoxGuestAdditions) ... I'm not sure of its origin but this can be an
important step for network performance.
