I ran into the same problem last week, however it was on a single instance of mongrel on a shared host through webfaction, not a cluster like you are on most likely on a dedicated server to boot.
Our problem turned out to be an issue of having another rails application installed (even though it was not supposed to be) and when the server got rebooted the script started that rails app by default. Hope something here helps trigger some ideas for you.

However, today I ran a "cap deploy" and started seeing the following error: !!! PID file /var/www/apps/jco/shared/log/mongrel.8013.pid does not exist. Not running? for each of the mongrels that should start up. I've googled for solutions but haven't found any explaination. How can this be rectified?
