Thanks for the reply Craig. Capistrano was throwing the error about the PID files which is how I found out about it. If you weren't seeing an error in the Capistrano log then you may be having a different problem.
The puzzling thing is, a direct command line call to 'mongrel_rails cluster::restart' deletes the PID files correctly. But when Capistrano calls that function it seems to have problems. I'm wondering if it's an issue with the location of the PID files - perhaps they need to be in shared/pids and not log/? I'm going to examine the mongrel_cluter/recipes file to see if I can track down the problem and report back. Please let me know if you make any progress.
