[chef] FATAL: IOError: Cannot open or read /var/chef/cache/cookbooks/monit/attributes/default.rb!

Hi,

I am bootstrapping my node automatically with a bash script and I get
the below error about 50% of the time.  Well....when I bootstrap
manually it works 100% of the time.  How can I make chef more robust
since these types of errors have implications for failover.  I am
using hosted chef
