Hi Andy,

Sync with latest source code. The bug you encountered should be fixed
now.

And get rid of older ./script/backgroundrb file and do a setup using:

rake backgroundrb:setup 

Also, now in configuration
file you can mention:

backgroundrb.yml:

:backgroundrb:
  :port: 11006
  :ip: 0.0.0.0
  :log: foreground

and start backgroundrb in foreground mode using:

./script/backgroundrb

this would make sure that all the exceptions appear on stdout. Give it a
shot...
