Rails - Feb 2006 - RoR BSD setup, file_column / Rmagick "invalid image"

So ive recently finished up my first RoR application and made sure it 
all worked right on the windows machine i developed it on. then deployed 
it on GeekISP.com which runs Open/Free BSD. I had to jump through a few 
little hoops to get it working and set the permissions for file_column 
to create directories, but it still doesnt work right. When i go to add 
a new item to the database and try adding a picture with the entry, even 
if the picture is valid (all lowercase, no special chars in the name), 
and i can verify it, the rmagick check for a valid image returns it 
invalid when i try to add it.

1 error prohibited this equipment from being saved

There were problems with the following fields:
Image invalid


I traced that part back to this code from within file column.

from "/file-column/lib/magick_file_column"
<code>
class BaseUploadedFile # :nodoc:
    def transform_with_magick
      if needs_resize?
        begin
          img = ::Magick::Image::read(absolute_path).first
        rescue ::Magick::ImageMagickError
          @magick_errors ||= []
          @magick_errors << "invalid"
          return
        end
</code>

now im wondering what do i need to do or change to get this working 
right? it really bugs me becuase it works fine on my box, and the error 
it gives doesnt tell me much about what is happening, the logs dont seem 
to show anything helpful either.
