Can you show the caller code? From your description and the code,
everything looks good.
Can you try with a simpler version of your class:

class Gateway::AuthorizeNetCim < Gateway
  attr_accessor :spree_invoice_number

  def authorize(amount, creditcard, gateway_options)
    logger.debug("variable is: #{@spree_invoice_number}")
  end

  def create_profile payment
    @spree_invoice_number = 42
  end
end

Jesus.
