Irrespective of your problem, already addressed by Charles, take a
look at the Resources wiki page Template section. I believe the
canonical way to reference data in a template, especially when it's
global/data-bag driven and not node-specific, is to use the fact that
it shows up as instance variables inside your template when it's been
passed in correctly. Not node[:blah] values.

I may be wrong, but it WFM :-)
