Hi guys, thanks for reply.

Yesterday I posted link my problem on IRC and Joshua helped me immedietaly - the problem was that I already bootstraped this box as node, but with bad FQDN.

Later, I removed the node from the platform - and bootstraped again. 

After removing /etc/chef/client.pem (which came with previously bootstrap) everything started to work.

Nowadays, Chef gives a clear message if client and server are out of
sync. Rafal's case is not like that. Check that in the server, the
name specified there for the node is exactly the same as specified in
/etc/chef/client.rb (or wherever your config is). If these are OK, I
suggest you regenerate the client key on the server and put the new
private key on the node and retry.
