Syntax error at '}'; expected '}'

So the error message Syntax error at '}'; expected '}' is not helping me find my problem. I'm trying to do something tricky, where I have this (shortened and anonymized) and the `$cron` variable set to `mon:12:0,wed:9:30` class symantec ( $version, $style = "unmanaged", $cron = '', ) { define createCronJob { $lines = split ($name,',') $lines[0] = split ($lines[0],':') $lines[1] = split ($lines[1],':') file { 'symantec.cron' : ensure => file, path => "/etc/cron.d/symantec.liveupdate.cron", content => "# # this file is managed by puppet. # ${lines[0][2]} ${lines[0][1]} * * ${lines[0][0]} root /usr/local/bin/system_patch.pl ${lines[1][2]} ${lines[1][1]} * * ${lines[1][0]} root /usr/local/bin/system_patch.pl " } } if $style == "unmanaged" { createCronJob { [ $cron ] } /* <= <= <= line with the error */ } } It's supposed to create a file that looks like this: # # this file is managed by puppet. # 0 12 * * mon root /usr/local/bin/system_patch.pl 30 9 * * wed root /usr/local/bin/system_patch.pl I can take out the offending line and the catalog compiles and runs fine. I tested it separately with `puppet apply` and it was working and created the file. But I must be doing something different and I don't know what. So I guess I have two questions. Why does the error message seem to make no sense? How can I properly call my defined function to create the file?
