This doesn''t work for me on 1.1.3
I have something like this:

describe Support do
    describe "attached image" do
      it "should validate presence of attachment" do
        # test stuff ...
      end

      it "should validate that attachment is an image" do
        # test stuff ...
      end

      it "should cleanly save attachment" do
        # test stuff ...
      end
    end
end

Here''s what I''m doing and the results

# It doesn''t test when I use the text from the describe block
jays-imac:ov2 jay$ ruby spec/models/support_spec.rb -e "attached
image"
Finished in 0.015778 seconds
0 examples, 0 failures

# it works fine with the test from an example
jays-imac:ov2 jay$ ruby spec/models/support_spec.rb -e  "should validate
presence of attachment"
.
Finished in 0.379727 seconds
1 example, 0 failures

the -e option should run a describe block if the string passed matches
a describe block
