You should not need to install modules on the agents. If they use plugins
you will want to have pluginsync enabled, see:

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/plugins_in_modules.html

That may be what you ran into with the Augeas module. You shouldn't need to
install the module on the client though.

I'm not positive what your issue is but installing the modules on the agent
is not the solution. My best guess is that the module itself is not
actually still in your modulepath on the Puppet master.
