mkdir the directory and re-run the installer works fine.

This is a long standing issue in Puppet that they refuse to fix: https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/86. Thankfully, when feeding a File resource an array, it is intelligent enough to create them in the correct tree order, so we could feed it an array like tike this: ["$pulp_pki_dir", "$pulp_pki_dir/nodes"] or similar.
