Hmm ... I just tried the code you supplied on a windows box and a debian
box and had no problems.  I tried with the foo_test.rb file in the same
directory as the Rakefile and also with it in a subdirectory named test.

Hmmm ... This leads me to believe the problem lies in your setup somewhere
and not with rake itself.  The -r syntax essentially does a "require
'foo_test'" at the start of your code.  If you have multiple foo_test
files in your ruby load path, it may be picking up the wrong one.
