Hi Warden,
Exporting a file resource will not export its content, unless the content
is part of the resource (ie. using "content => " or "source => "). By just
giving a path you will always end-up with an empty file.
I guess a better approach would be to maintain all files somewhere on your
Puppet master, and them deploy them to your nodes. This even works
recursively with directories.
