Per the 0.9 notes:

Upgrading to 0.9 from 0.8 is a much smoother transition than from 0.7 to 0.8, but there are still some pitfalls to be aware of. First of all, 0.9 chef-clients can read from 0.8 servers, but cannot save to 0.8 servers. 0.8 chef-clients cannot read from 0.9 chef servers at all, so you will need to upgrade your clients and server in lock-step.

Something tells me a 0.9 client will not work as intended (or, as we've seen: at all) with a 0.8.10 server.

rtfm i guess. so, ok, i'll upgrade the server...

So, yes, one needs the 0.9.0 server for the 0.9.0 client. It looks like I had a mix of 0.8.10 and 0.8.16 on my servers.

One curious thing is that when I upgraded the server all the cookbooks went missing. That foxed me for a while.
