Do you want to change the path of the Ruby script?  Then no "cd" in any 
subprocess will help - that only changes the sub process's path.  Also, 
you might be confusing "cd" with "pwd" for printing the path.  You 
probably want this:

irb(main):001:0> Dir.pwd
=> "/home/robert"
irb(main):002:0> Dir.chdir "/tmp"
=> 0
irb(main):003:0> Dir.pwd
=> "/tmp"
irb(main):004:0> `pwd`
=> "/tmp\n"

Kind regards
