For future reference I found the cause of this problem.  Apparently I 
generated a worker called Master which created a MasterWorker class.  
This appears to be a namespace conflict with a backgroundrb system class.

I hope someone doesn't have to dig as far as I did to find this problem.

Hemant, is my evaluation correct?

Thank you for all the time you have spent working on this tool.

Let me know if I can be of any help on the persistence feature request.
