You must be trying to run chef-client outside of Vagrant on subsequent
runs, e.g. directly on the guest. If that's the case, why not just run
chef-client through Vagrant again?
You might look at the Vagrant "file provisioner" to upload files to the
guest, from the host. If you create a custom.rb file like you mentioned,
you could use this from Vagrant and then use a file upload provisioner to
also make it available from the standard Chef location as client.rb.
