Hey James-

	Yeah having the main file in script/lib was a mistake. I have  
changed that in more recent version s to leave all code exzcept for  
stubs for the start and stop scripts within the plugin. So I  
recommend that you update to the newest version of the plugin and  
start from there. I'm not sure how autotest will deal with testing  
workers. It is a bit tough to test the workers in there real life  
state and I haven't used autotest with this plugin yet. So try it  
with the latest version and let me know if that works for you. You  
will need to remove the entire script/backgroundrb folder and the  
config/backgroundrb.yml files from your app and run rake  
backgroundrb:setup again once you install the new version.
