[chef] Fail to connect to chef server when using vagrant

[< >]

I can successfully run any knife command I wish (i.e. authenticates with the
chef server, returns information).  

Knife reads my knife_override.rb properly, which is necessary because my
username on my box is different from my key name (see below)

knife.rb:

node_name               ( ENV['USER'] || ENV['USERNAME'] ).downcase
client_key              "#{home_dir}/.chef/#{node_name}.pem"

My username on my box is 'knox', which means that WITHOUT the knife_override 
my
client key would be 'knox.pem', which it is not.  My knife override (see 
below)
has the correct key in it 'klively.pem'

knife_override.rb:

node_name             'klively'
client_key               '/Users/Knox/.chef/klively.pem'

Like I said, when I run knife commands it works just as it should.  It reads 
my
knife_overide.rb correctly, returns data from the chef server.  However, when
using Vagrant (i.e. issuing the 'vagrant up' command) it runs through the
recipe fine until Ridley tries to establish a connection with my chef server. 
It then fails to authenticate.  It seems as if it is not reading my
knife_override.rb because it is trying to use 'knox.pem' [which doesn't exist]
instead of 'klively.pem'.  Which is odd...it was my believe it is the same API
being used for this connection.  Hence why I came here.


Output from issuing 'vagrant up':
