Subject: Re: Mechanize error, File doesn't exist -- but it DOES!

Here is basically what's running in the script:

    file_path = "web20_logos/" + "evenspacer.gif"
    puts "rel path: " + file_path
    puts "exists?: " + File.exists?( file_path ).to_s
    puts "expanded path: " + File.expand_path( file_path )
    puts "exists?: " + File.exists?( File.expand_path( file_path ) 
).to_s

yields:

exists?: false
expanded path: 
/Users/dbit/Sites/fuseme/fuseme_rails/app/models/scrapers/web20/web20_logos/evenspacer.gif
exists?: false
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mechanize-0.8.3/lib/www/mechanize/form.rb:294:in 
`initialize': No such file or directory -

        from web20.rb:47:in `submit_new_thing'
        from web20.rb:90


But when I type it at the command line:

ruby -e 'puts (File.exist? "web20_logos/evenspacer.gif").to_s'

# It yields true....

Very weird.
