[colug-432] Puppet and templates

[ME]

I use puppet 2.7 open source version, and typically I have my templates
folder at the same level as the manifests directory within the modules I
write. One thing at first glance your directory tree is listed as
"templates" yet your syntax you are calling "template". Let me know how
that works for you and if you're still have issues in the morning let me
know, I'll check my master for further syntax since its late and I don't
remember. Good luck and have fun!
