Using this Vagrantfile, "vagrant up" fails running chef-solo with the error: FATAL: Chef::Exceptions::PrivateKeyMissing: I cannot read /etc/chef/client.pem, which you told me to use to sign requests!

Vagrantfile

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "precise64"
  config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
    chef.environment = "development"
    chef.environments_path = "environments"
  end
end

I realize this doesn't setup any cookbooks, etc., so it wouldn't be a "valid" setup. This is just the simplest possible Vagrantfile that can reproduce the error.

Even with a fully setup chef_solo, adding environments causes chef-solo to fail.

I'll give it a shot in a second and report back.
