I believe if you update to the chef-client cookbook version 1.1.5 it
should be fixed. (This also assumes that you have a recipe by the name
"chef-server" running on the server). Mine looks something like

  directory node['chef_client'][key] do
    recursive true
    if node.recipe?("chef-server")
      owner "chef"
      group "chef"
    else
      owner "root"
     group root_group
    end
    mode 0755
  end
