I had a similar problem when I hooked my Wordpress installation into my rails site. On the wp_posts table they use ID as their primary key. Ruby/Rails was getting unhappy whenever I tried to access obj.ID. I was able to access this field by using obj.attributes ["ID"].
I don't know if this will work for you without a code example, but its worth a shot.
