Using 'recurse => remote',
whilst the source directory at the puppetmaster contains symlinks,
i got the same errors:
  Error: Could not set 'link' on ensure: wrong number of arguments (given 3,
expected 2)

I could solve these using the same method as above.

In /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/file_system/file_impl.rb
replace

  def symlink(path, dest, options = {})
    FileUtils.symlink(path, dest, options)
  end

with:

  def symlink(path, dest, **options)
    FileUtils.symlink(path, dest, **options)
  end

After applying both these changes, i saw no errors anymore.

Thanks for putting me on the right track.
