That produces the following crons in my crontab:

If I read my cron correctly that should run only once every midnight.
So two questions: am I reading this cron correctly ? That it is
supposed to run once a day at midnight?
This isn't really a Puppet problem, but regardless:
Those cron entries are for "every minute during the zeroth hour". So at
00:00 it will run, then at 00:01, then 00:02, and so on all the way to
00:59, then will stop until 00:00 the next day. Therefore, if the
chmod/chown processes take more than 1 minute to run, they will stack up
during that period of time.
The entry you want is "0 0 * * *" -- that will run exactly once, at
00:00 each day. In your manifest, you can express this with "hour => 0,
minute => 0,".
