Thanks for all the replies. I took advice and ditched trying to get restful-authentication to work, and re-focused on authlogic.
I have been able to piece together a semi-working system now. More or less... I can log in and view a page only accessible to registered members now. I am trying to devise a manner to display only certain content on my main index to authenticated visitors, I don't know if i can put something like an "if(authenticated) #hidden" line into my main index.haml, but that is probably beyond the scope of this thread. I did not realize just quite how new and different rails 3 is compared to previous versions. But I look forward to developing further with the framework as I really like how it all works (when I am able to get it to work, at least). Part of my initial frustrations I believe were a result of not understanding some of the basic concepts, plus I've been trying to develop on Windows, which has it's own heap of frustrating 'features', but I am starting to get the hang of it.
