You need to set your validation_key path in knife.rb. If you're using chef-bootstrap, setting a KNIFE_SERVER_NAME env var is enough to trigger this automatically, placing your validation key in a file named after your user and chef server in ~/.chef.d. Or you could actually create /etc/chef and that would work too.

@fnichol
Add more instructions in knife.rb setup section of README.

It is very likely that many new users to this gem have not previously
set up a knife.rb file, so this section of the README deserves a bit
more content.

Does the commit above help clarify the need for user-writable locations for client_key and validation_key? I'm open to moving things around to help make this easier to follow.

If I've missed the boat here, or you're still having problems, please reopen. Thank you!
