The message seems pretty clear to me. If you are running Puppet as non-root then you must not specify a 'user' for your command to run as. You must not specify even the non-root user who happens to be running that puppet agent instance, as Puppet cannot necessarily recognize that that's what you have done. If you just omit the 'user' parameter from your exec then it will automatically run as whatever user the agent is running as.
