spec.opts seems to be very picky about extra whitespace.  I ran into  
a very similar stack trace (I had to first test --color in place of -- 
colour to se if that was the problem.. :).  After I removed extra  
whitespace from the end of the file it worked.

I also ran into a problem when there is no spec.opts file:

/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-0.8.0/lib/spec/runner/ 
option_parser.rb:143:in `readlines': No such file or directory - / 
Users/wlarsen/Sites/roar/roar_test/config/../spec/spec.opts  
(Errno::ENOENT)
         from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-0.8.0/lib/spec/ 
runner/option_parser.rb:143:in `parse'

It would be nice if there is a test for the file, and it is only used  
if it exists.
