Given the following code:

file { "/tmp/testing": source => "/tmp/source", purge => true, owner => luke, recurse => true

Puppet considers all of the contained files to be managed (and thus not purgeable) because you’re specifying the owner.

I’ve added a special-case in r2436 that purges files that aren’t on the remote system, but I’m not sure this is the right long-term solution.
