If you have symlinked REE into your actual PATH as `ruby`, then there is no benefit to having the path to it in your path, the only thing I can assume is that maybe Gems are being installed to a place that isn't in the load path, somehow...... Not really sure, but I am happy that you have resolved it enough that you can move on.
