Your fileutils require is "require 'FileUtils'", while mini_exiftools 
probably requires is as "require 'fileutils'".  Because of the case 
difference, require thinks it hasn't seen fileutils before when 
mini_exiftool require's it, and tries to load it again.  At least, 
that's my guess.  Try changing your "require 'FileUtils'" to "require 
'fileutils'" and see if the warnings go away.
