Thanks- very good suggestions.

I still am puzzled as to why my prod environment is using gems from the 
test environment. There must be a dotfile or config file somewhere in 
the gem directory. Does anyknow know where the gem path is actualy 
stored in the ruby install, if it's not in .gemrc and not in GEM_PATH 
and GEM_HOM?
