Rails - Apr 2006 - IO.read fails on relative path in model object

All,

I am attempting to do an IO.read call on a file inside of one of my 
model objects.

I keep getting  Errno::ENOENT

The path I''m passing to IO.read is relative to RAILS_ROOT.

Two questions:

1) This code was previously executing in my controller - it it 
significant that I moved it into my model?

2) Is there some way to verify which directory is the current directory 
for the app.?

Thanks,
Wes

I just verified that I can run this same call in my controller object 
without a problem.

back to where
I thought I was.
