Hey Max-


	If you need to pass an active record object to one of your workers  
as an argument then you need to add one line of code to each model  
that you intend on using this way. So if the model you want to send  
from rails to the drb server is Post then you need to add this line:

class Post < ActiveRecord::base

   include DRbUndumped

#the rewst of your code

end

	If you add that to the models you need to send to the drb server it  
will work.
