Rails - Mar 2006 - File_Column plugin causes strange errors on windows

I installed the File_Column plugin and setup my relationships.

create_table "screenshots", :force => true do |t|
  t.column "image", :string, :limit => 255, :null => false
  t.column "description", :text
  t.column "created_on", :datetime, :null => false
  t.column "item_id", :integer, :null => false
  t.column "confirmed_by", :integer
  t.column "created_on", :datetime, :null => false
  t.column "created_by", :integer, :null => false
end

class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :screenshots
end

class Screenshot < ActiveRecord::Base
  file_column :image, :magick => { :geometry => "640x480>" }
  belongs_to :item
end

After doing this all my pages instantly fail with strange errors like :
./script/../config/../app/views/home/index.rhtml:2: parse error, unexpected
$, expecting kEND

If I remove the "has_many :screenshots" relationship everything works
fine.
I''ve installed rmagick, and everything is setup correctly.
I''ve researched
this a bit and others have had this same type problem, and it seems to be
some kind of encoding issue. Any ideas? It seems like a File_Column bug.

Are you running Ruby 1.8.4?  I experienced this problem with 
file_column, RMagick and Ruby 1.8.4.  I switched back to Ruby 1.8.2 and 
the problems stopped.

One of the symptoms was that any TAB characters in my views would cause 
errors.
