That's a transmission error.  Strange thing I just realized for me ( on 
windows) if i remove all whitespace, then the YAML config file load 
succeeds but my APP_CONFIG structure that loads up is nil.  Here is how 
I'm loading up my hash:
APP_CONFIG = 
YAML.load_file("#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/config.yaml")[RAILS_ENV]

when i excecute this, the exception is thrown: self.volume = 
APP_CONFIG['attachment_volume']
What am I missing?
