    Recent versions of OS X (since Snow Leopard IIRC) are pickier about the permissions on things like startupitems, and will disable them if it thinks they’re inappropriate. This should set the permissions it’s looking for:

    sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/StartupItems/MongoDB
sudo chmod -R u=rwX,go=rX /Library/StartupItems/MongoDB
sudo chmod -R -N /Library/StartupItems/MongoDB
