Hrm, this is odd.  I had a working RubyGems 1.1.0 on apple ruby when I  
released, but after removing it to restore the apple RubyGems 1.0.1, I  
am again stuck with 1.0.1 like you.  Perhaps I did some other monkey- 
business that caused it to work correctly.

I have an idea of what the problem is, but until I figure out exactly  
what the issue is, running:

   sudo update_rubygems

installs RubyGems correctly.
