[Backgroundrb-devel] Start script not working when run via Rake

[Jonathan Wallace]

I'd like to second this issue as well.  I haven't had time to
investigate (maybe an upgrade to the latest capistrano would fix it?)
but I have to manually stop and restart bdrb on my production server
after a deploy when we've updated the worker code.
