OK the cause of this is having Vagrant mount the /etc/chef folder + this 
issue:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/662711

So if you have nfs installed on your Vagrant base box, you'll need to
do one of two things:
1) remove it and vagrant will mount another less performant way -
which is fine, since the purpose of this type of chef-server launch is
to help devs not run in production where you should be using the
Opscode platform ;)
2) Tell Vagrant not to use nfs mounting, e.g.
csc.vm.share_folder("chef-server-etc", "/etc/chef",
"
 /mnt/etc",
 :nfs => false)

OK, so now you can launch chef-server via Vagrant.

Phew!
