found it! i was mistakenly using an assignment operator rather than a
check value operator.

wrong:
if node[:chef_environment] = /dev/
  aws_creds = Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.load("hush","bag-dev")

right:
if node[:chef_environment] == /dev/

just enough ruby to be dangerous! thanks for playing :>
