Didn't notice this earlier, the default manifests file puppet master
compiles is /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp, you need to import nodes.pp
in site.pp, or simply write the node information in site.pp manifest.

If the suggestion above doesn't work, try to include a default node in site.pp:
node default {
include ntp
}
Beyond that, start running puppet master with the option
--no-daemonize --verbose (add --debug as necessary) and send any
applicable output. It should autoload classes in modules and compile
catalog for the taget node successfully (see sample below):
debug: importing
'/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/motd/manifests/init.pp' in environment
production
debug: Automatically imported motd from motd into production
debug: Scope(Class[Motd]): Retrieving template motd/motd.erb
debug: template[/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/motd/templates/motd.erb]:

/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/motd/templates/motd.erb in 0.00 seconds
