[chef] Nodes do not have permissions to bootstrap other nodes on ec2

[David Montgomery < >]

Hi,

I  am very serious issue with chef an bootstrapping a node from a
monitoring server.  The monitoring server was bootstrapped as well.
In the hosted hosted web UI I have gave permissions to the monitoring
node for everything yet I get the below error.  This node will handle
failover.

I get the below error when bootstrapping.

ec2-23-20-69-202.compute-1.amazonaws.com 15 gems installed

Here is my knife file.

log_level                :info
log_location             STDOUT
node_name                "dev_gl"

validation_client_name   "validation"
validation_key           "/etc/chef/validation.pem"
chef_server_url          "https://api.opscode.com/organizations/testorg";
cache_type               'BasicFile'
cache_options( :path => "/home/ubuntu/.chef/checksums" )
cookbook_path       [ "/home/ubuntu/workspace/MyCHEF/chef-repo/cookbooks" ]
knife[:aws_access_key_id]     = "xxxxxx"
knife[:aws_secret_access_key] = "xxxxxxxxxxxx"

The node has ALL permissions checked.  What else is there to do?

Thanks
