Error with permission in Chef routine - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have the following Chef routine to generate a script to start/stop a unicorn daemon.
However I always get a Permission denied when Capistrano execute this file. What I'm doing wrong with its permissions?
# recipes/default.rb
template "/etc/init.d/unicorn_#{node['pod']['app_name']}" do
owner node['pod']['user']
group node['pod']['user']
mode 777
source "unicorn_init.erb"
variables( :app_name => node['pod']['app_name'], :user => node['pod']['user'] )
end
# templates/default/unicorn_init.rb
#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Feel free to change any of the following variables for your app:
TIMEOUT=${TIMEOUT-60}
APP_ROOT=/home/<%= #user %>/apps/<%= #app_name %>/current
PID=/var/run/unicorn/unicorn_<%= #app_name %>.pid
CMD="cd $APP_ROOT; bundle exec unicorn -D -c $APP_ROOT/config/unicorn.rb -E production"
AS_USER=<%= #user %>
set -u
OLD_PIN="$PID.oldbin"
sig () {
test -s "$PID" && su -c "kill -$1 `cat $PID`" - $AS_USER
}
oldsig () {
test -s $OLD_PIN && sudo -c "kill -$1 `cat $OLD_PIN`" - $AS_USER
}
run () {
if [ "$(id -un)" = "$AS_USER" ]; then
eval $1
else
su -c "$1" - $AS_USER
fi
}
case "$1" in
start)
sig 0 && echo >&2 "Already running" && exit 0
run "$CMD"
;;
stop)
sig QUIT && exit 0
echo >&2 "Not running"
;;
force-stop)
sig TERM && exit 0
echo >&2 "Not running"
;;
restart|reload)
sig HUP && echo reloaded OK && exit 0
echo >&2 "Couldn't reload, starting '$CMD' instead"
run "$CMD"
;;
upgrade)
if sig USR2 && sleep 2 && sig 0 && oldsig QUIT
then
n=$TIMEOUT
while test -s $OLD_PIN && test $n -ge 0
do
printf '.' && sleep 1 && n=$(( $n - 1 ))
done
echo
if test $n -lt 0 && test -s $OLD_PIN
then
echo >&2 "$OLD_PIN still exists after $TIMEOUT seconds"
exit 1
fi
exit 0
fi
echo >&2 "Couldn't upgrade, starting '$CMD' instead"
run "$CMD"
;;
reopen-logs)
sig USR1
;;
*)
echo >&2 "Usage: $0 <start|stop|restart|upgrade|force-stop|reopen-logs>"
exit 1
;;
esac
As you can see, it doesn't set the correct mode for the file:

See the docs. Mode should be octal or string:
template "/etc/init.d/unicorn_#{node['pod']['app_name']}" do
[...]
mode 0777 #or mode "777"
[...]
end
