Sorry, I haven't had much time to track these threads.  They've split.  Your clarifying questions have actually helped me understand this better, and I've put some time into investigating the problem.  I may have it fixed but I haven't had time to verify as I'm trying to get a staging server set up.

Well, which is it?

knife ssh, which relies on correct settngs in ~/.chef/knife.rb
*on*your*workstation*, or chef-client, which lives on the client-side
(usually a server, just not *chef* server) and reads
/etc/chef/client.rb on that box?
