I don't know if this is exactly what your looking for, but how about a 
call to locate?

begin
#worker code here

rescue
path = %x[locate <filename>].chomp! #the filename would be whatever the 
daemon is
                                    #looking for - you take the error 
code from
                                    #the daemon and pull the filename 
out of it

#Here we are going to take the path output
#then remove the last array element it's
#split by, aka the filename, so that u will
#have the directory

directory = path.split("/")
directory.pop
directory.join("/")
Dir.chdir(directory)

retry #retries the begin block

end
