Thanks Ken, but when I said I was new to RSpec I didn't mean I was THAT new! ;o)
I think people aren't grasping the DataMapper chaining that is at the root of my testing confusion. I managed to come up with a solution that I've outlined here http://pastie.org/1690040 Basically, I mocked out a couple DataMapper::Collections and nested them. I'd love to hear if anyone would have tackled this issue differently.
