Your exec resource has a double-quoted string.
1) You're not doing variable interpolation, so that should be a
single-quoted string (per the accepted style).
2) Puppet *happens* to allow "\#". The docs on Puppet string types and
escaping
(https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/lang_datatypes.html#double-quoted-strings)
clearly list the allowed escape sequences. As \# isn't one of them, you
should be doubling the leading "\" to escape it.
If you do keep that as a double-quoted string, you need to escape $ as well.
