Issue when vmware tools is updated via the Puppet agent (background on RHEL6)

Hi

When the Puppet agent want to upgrade the vmware tools in the background with the -d switch, I get this in the Puppet logs:

Notice: /Stage[main]/Vmwaretools::Install::Exec/Exec[install_vmwaretools]/returns: The answer "" is invalid. It must be the complete name of a binary file.

It seems lsmod is not in the PATH during the execution of the vmware-install.pl command.
On RHEL 6, this is in /sbin.

Can the "path" environment be updated so this works?

Thanks
