Google to the rescue again...
Stumbled across this link:
http://serverfault.com/questions/325591/puppet-checking-sets-of-variables
This suggested using the "inline_template" function to do an erb evaluation
of my variable...
So changed the following line:
# Get export path fact for db
$oracle_sid_lower = downcase($oracle_sid)
$fact_name = "clone_${oracle_sid_lower}"
# Use an inline template to lookup dynamically generated fact name
$export_line = inline_template('<%= scope.lookupvar(fact_name) %>')
And hey-presto, it works... :D
Cheers
Gav
