Can you, as that same non-root user, successfully execute the script both
immediately before and immediately after eliciting that message from Facter
(all on the same machine)? Note in particular that the Puppet agent syncs
custom facts and evaluates them (along with all the other facts) before
requesting a catalog, so you cannot rely on the agent to put the script in
place for you where the fact expects it to be before the fact is evaluated.
If it's a simple, 1st-party script then it might be a good approach to just
rewrite it in Ruby in the fact body.
Alternatively, you could also consider turning it into an external fact
<http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_facts.html#external-facts>.
