Rails - Mar 2011 - How to modify the template path for ActionMailer used in a Ruby script ?

I am testing a ruby 1.9.2 script (it''ll be run in a cron task
later...)  in which I am trying to use ActionMailer
All my files are in a single folder ''joinus_email

- joinus_email
    joinus_email.rb
    notifier.rb
    - notifications
        joinus_email.html.erb
        joinus_email.text.erb

running the script joinus_email.rb, (in which I defined the
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings)
mail =
Notifier.joinus_email("john.doe-PV5Ro7/Mrj4@public.gmane.org").deliver

is raising an exception :
exception: Missing template notifier/joinus_email with
{:handlers=>[:erb, :rjs, :builder, :rhtml, :rxml], :formats=>[:html],
:locale=>[:en]}
in view paths

notifier.rb
class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base
  default :from => "system-hcDgGtZH8xNBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org"
    def joinus_email(destination, coupon)
      @url  = "http://example.com"
      mail(:template_path => ''notifications'', :to =>
destination, :subject => "Welcome") do |format|
        format.html
        format.text
      end
    end
end

I believe there is something wrong with the :template_path =>
''notifications'' parameter...
 I tried a relative path : " ./notifications"   same error raised
I also tried to define upon initialization :  TEMPLATE_ROOT = "./
notifications" in the  joinus_email.rb script , same error raised ...

any suggestions ?

[SOLVED]  using ActionMailer::Base.prepend_view_path(''./'')  
and
changing the notifications folder name to notifier
