|   FileUtils.cp_r(src, dest, :verbose => true, *opts) rescue nil

|How can I make the code work for 1.8 and 1.9?  Or is this a 1.9 bug?

Try explicit hash like:

>    FileUtils.cp_r(src, dest, {:verbose => true}, *opts) rescue nil

1.9 only allows hash without braces at the very last of the
arguments.
