Are you by chance running foreman_server.sh from source? I've hit this
a few times when I checkout the source, put it in /root/ and then the
seed script fails because of permissions. If you are running from
source, make sure the puppet user can read the source directory.

Not sure is this applies in your case but it will cause the problem
you're seeing.
