I ran this command:
*sudo puppet agent -t --verbose --noop --debug --trace *

*and I get this ouput:*

I'm sure its on the server, but I'm not exactly sure where to look because
i get the same error in the server logs. I checked the firewall and it goes
through, I don't know enough arout ruby to hunt down a pson error, but what
what it looks like there is a syntax error somewhere? Anyone have any ideas?
