[Rails] Routing error "unitialized constant" after refactoring

Hi. I''ve heavily refactored an application. When I access 
http://0.0.0.0:3000/ I now get the stack trace at the end of this mail.

My routes.rb:

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
   map.connect '''', :controller =>
''user/dashboard'', :action => ''boo''
   map.connect '':controller/:action/:id'', :controller => 
''user/dashboard'', :action => ''boo''
end

And app/controllers/user/dashboard_controller.rb:

class User::DashboardController < ApplicationController
   def index
     render :text => "wtf?!"
   end
end

If I access http://0.0.0.0:3000/user/dashboard/ the controller loads 
correctly. I''m wondering why routing complains on DashboardController 
rather than User::DashboardController..

This is driving me nuts. Anyone care to guess what could be the cause?

Morten

Is "user" a reserved word in routing? If I change

map.connect '''', :controller =>
''user/dashboard'', :action => ''boo''

to

map.connect '''', :controller =>
''foo/dashboard'', :action => ''boo''

And move the controller from controllers/user/ to controllers/foo/ 
it works.
