Rails - Sep 2006 - Problem with BackgrouDRb installing on WinXP - help please

I''m getting an error I don''t understand when I try to install
the BackgrounDRb plugin (this is the first plugin I''ve tried to
install).

I''m interested in knowing if anyone has been successful installing the
BackgrounDRb plugin on WinXP, and even more specifically, on InstantRails on
WinXP.

 I installed the plugin, or thought I did, and then I tried to start the
backgroundrb daemon (from the sandbox directory I entered >ruby
script\backgroundrb\start.)  I got an error message saying ''no such
file or directory -- script/backgroundrb/start (LoadError)''.

So tried to reinstall the plugin using:
>ruby script\plugin install svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/backgroundrb --force
During the download\install, the first line of the reponse says:
svn: ''C:\InstantRails\rails_apps\sandbox\vendor\plugins'' is
not a working copy

Then it goes ahead and creates vendor\plugins\backgroundrb directory with
subdirectories, etc.  But I still get the ''no such file'' error
when I try to start the daemon.

So...  a couple of questions:

1) _What''s_ not a working copy? Is it talking about the already
installed version of the plugin?  Or is it telling me there''s something
wrong with my IR install?   Anybody got any idea what I''m doing wrong?

2) The file not found error makes me wonder.  There is no
''start.rb'' file in the BackgrounDRb plugin directory structure
that''s installed.  There is a file named ''start'' (no
extension) located in the vendor\plugins\backgroundrb\script\backgroundrb\
directory.  Renaming it to start.rb doesn''t have an effect one way or
the other.  I don''t have any experience with plugins but, hey, Ezra
wrote this and I''m pretty confident he knows WTF he''s doing,
so I figure the script knows where to look.

Thanks in advance for any insight or help!

Best regards,
Bill
