The delayed_job capistrano recipes require that :rails_env is set. If
not, the runner starts in development mode. In your deploy.rb, make
sure you set :rails_env:

set :rails_env, 'production'

I got tripped up by this too - and I only solved it by looking at the
source. I added a ticket over at

Jonathan - Great presentation last night.

I wondered if you would know why, when using capistrano to start a delayed_job worker on passenger, it tries to start it in development mode, but the same statement run from the console starts in production.

This is the statement I am using:
script/delayed_job start RAILS_ENV=production

BTW, using active_scaffold, i was able to set up a simple interface to the delayed_jobs queue, letting me see the error messages, delete items from the queue, and even edit them (set a higher priority, change the number of fails, etc.).
