Full backtrace is actually designed to force a full backtrace display, turning it off merely uses the default inclusion / exclusion filters, by default (if I remember correctly) this includes stuff based on your working directory; so if you manually add the directory (even if you use ruby to generate it from the file rather than the working directory) to the exclusion filter it should be removed no matter where you run the test from.
There’s been a fair amount of work on improving this behaviour in RSpec 3 and given that RSpec 2 isn’t supported I heartily recommend you upgrade to the latest version, if you install 2.99 first it will be relatively painless!
