            Dir.glob(File.join(Chef::Config[:data_bag_path], bag,
                               "*.json")).each do |f|
              item = JSON.parse(IO.read(f))
              @solo_data_bags[bag][item['id']] = item
            end

Thank you.
We've stolen this for our own chef solo switch.
Seems to work.

I added this code to a file called "data_bag_hack.rb"
then set my solo.rb to the following;

solo true
cookbook_path "some/path/to/cookbooks"
role_path "some/path/to/roles"
data_bag_path "some/path/to/data_bags"

require 'data_bag_hack'
