Is rubycocoa.bundle properly located in the powerpc-darwin7.2.0 folder?
That's what causes Ruby to link in the RubyCocoa framework, so it seems
to be a problem with that. I don't have the objc folder in my site_ruby
either and RubyCocoa works fine over here.

Also, I found during some of my own troubleshooting that symbolic links
don't always work for RubyCocoa components (and in fact I think I got
that same error when I tried). You'll need to copy the actual resource.
