knife bootstrap, is a part of the node bootstrap (see step 2):

The knife bootstrap command will install the chef-client executable (if necessary), generate keys, and register the node with the Chef server.

the generate keys is the generation of client.pem, which is used to authenticate the node on the chef-server. thus, it appears that the bootstrap did not complete successfully or some changes were made to the node client.rb that reference the client.pem.
