New description:

 Within the user type I am unable to pass an empty array to the groups
 value so that the user is not assigned to any groups.
 {{{
     @user { "test":
         ensure  => "present",
         uid     => "500",
         gid     => "500",
         comment => "test user",
         home    => "/home/test",
         shell   => "/bin/bash",
         groups  => [],                        <----
         membership => "inclusive",
         require => Group["test"]
 }}}
 The error is:
 {{{
 err: //basenode/virt_all_users/User[test]/groups: change from root to
 failed: interning empty string
 }}}
 I was able to track it down to the symbolize function in util.rb.
 Checking for the length of the string and not "intern"ing it fixed that
 problem, however, I have no idea if it breaks anything else.
 {{{
 def symbolize(value)
         if value.respond_to? :intern
            if( value.length == 0 )
                 value
            else
                 value.intern
            end
         else
             value
         end
     end
 }}}
