I could swear that at some point I had a define in init.pp and it worked. For
some reason I could not reproduce that when I tried your example.
You might try two things:
1) on your puppet master, try applying site.pp
puppet apply --debug --modulepath /etc/puppet/modules
/etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
That might give you some hints in better error messages.
2) debug on both master and agent if the above works
Master:
su - -c /bin/bash puppet
puppet master --debug --no-daemonize
Agent:
puppet agent --debug --no-daemonize --onetime
Those might give you some better error messages at least.
