Thanks Matt. I tried what you suggested and it seems to heave worked - no idea why exactly though. Output included below. I played around with sleep time and it seems like even 1 sec is enough to avoid the problem with "permission denied" in renaming the directory. This clearly looks like some RoR rbug with some race condition as you suspect. What is the best way to report this to all those wonderful folks toiling away with helping us with the RoR framework - especially given it is apparently so hard to reproduce for anyone else?
I can go to sleep tonight with my mind at peace - at least for now! Appreciate the suggestion/help Matt.
