Ahah! The problem is that your directory name contains a ':'  
character (in the Finder it'll show up as a forward slash '/'). The  
path to the Resources directory is added to $LOAD_PATH, which is  
eventually converted to a :-separated string in the ruby core.  
Therefore, the full path to your application is lost.

You could perhaps report this as a bug in ruby.

The temporary fix is to remove that character from the directory name :)
