I also faced #718 with latest distillery version (v2.1.1).

Following solution from elixir forum help me get past this issue. I had to add following hook in .deliver/config

post_extract_release_archive() {
  status "Removing start_erl.data"
  __remote "
    [ -f ~/.profile ] && source ~/.profile
    set -e
    cd $DELIVER_TO/$APP/var $SILENCE
    rm start_erl.data
  "
}

As a newbie to distillery/elixir deployment this was a bummer, as we are not sure if the problem was with our code or with the build tool. It would be great to fix this issue properly ...
