	It seems that for some reason backgroundrb doesn't like being  
started via the rake command to start. So you need to use the actual  
start script. Here are my tasks for stopping, starting and restarting.

   desc <<-DESC
   Stop the backgroundrb server
   DESC
   task :stop_backgroundrb , :roles => :drb do
     run "#{current_path}/script/backgroundrb/stop"
   end

   desc <<-DESC
   Start the backgroundrb server
   DESC
   task :start_backgroundrb , :roles => :drb do
     run "#{current_path}/script/backgroundrb/start -d"
   end

   desc <<-DESC
   Start the backgroundrb server
   DESC
   task :restart_backgroundrb , :roles => :app do
     stop_backgroundrb
     start_backgroundrb
   end
