Those pem files only affect authentication to the server. If they’re wrong 
then you get a HTTP 401 for every request, if they’re right, then you don’t

For troubleshooting your problem, you can try running chef with -ldebug to 
get much more verbose logging of what’s going on. You can also inspect the 
cookbooks after the run in var/chef/cache/cookbooks.
