[chef] Re: Re: Re: bootstraping a new client authorization error

Any chance you already registered kelly15 on another machine? Or
registered this client with another name?

Try to delete client.pem, and have chef generate a new client key.
Double check there's no kelly15 client on the server. If there is,
either delete it or use a different name
