Subject: rake/rdoc problem

Hi,

I'm getting this error when I try to execute the rdoc task from rake

undefined method `exitstatus' for nil:NilClass

My rakefile looks like...

require 'rake'
require 'rake/rdoctask'

Rake::RDocTask.new { |rdoc|
  rdoc.rdoc_dir = 'doc'
  rdoc.title = "Title"
  rdoc.options << '--line-numbers --inline-source'
  rdoc.main ="README"
  rdoc.rdoc_files.include('README')
  rdoc.rdoc_files.include('lib/*.rb')
  rdoc.rdoc_files.exclude('_darcs/**/*.rb')
}

running the rdoc command manually creates the documentation

rdoc -o doc --line-numbers --inline-source --main 'README' --title 
'Title' -T 'html' README lib/*.rb --exclude _darcs/**/*.*

except it creates docs for files in the darcs repo (which I'd rather it 
didn't) and it cannot find my README file, but the file is present in 
the directory from which the command is executed.

I assume I'm being dense
