I think this is more of a Sinatra issue, and not an rspec issue.  But, 
since I'm a Sinatra fan, I thought I'd weigh in, since I just went 
through this and it was harder then I would've expected.

If you want to pass session values in tests, you'll have to disable 
sessions in your sinatra app.  I've got a blog post at 
http://benprew.posterous.com/ with the details.

Also, I had to do this in one of my apps recently, take a look at the 
Rakefile, picklespears.com and test/test_player.rb at
