Alright, I found that this actually required a bit more to work properly, but if you look at my latest code: http://github.com/Empact/roxml/tree/master, I have a examples/active_record.rb, and spec/examples/active_record.rb to show it's working properly.
So install this latest version from my github and you should have things working. See the history: http://github.com/Empact/roxml/blob/a2434d5c14a31ec2099c38a6248b4fcf4e5f5565/History.txt for the changes involved. You should also get some deprecation warnings from this newest code. I'm preparing for a bit of an API shakeup in 3.0 which should be the last. In short, all type declaration come via the :as parameter, all location declarations come via :from and :in, all options come as separate arguments. The rdocs should be up to date on this.
