Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, I'm unable to trivially reproduce 
this; the following sample works as expected:

  File { backup => false }

  node default {
    file { '/tmp/test':
      content => "test\n",
    }
  }
 
Can you make sure that site.pp is actually consulted when constructing 
the catalog? `puppet master --debug --compile <node-name>` might help 
you out with this.
