Are you sure that data_object is always a single object and not sometimes an array (even though containing possibly only one record). I have seen this when I have used a named scope that I know will return a single record, but in fact it is an array containing one element. Whether you think that may be it or not, if it is a particular line or a few places in the code that sometimes fails you could catch the exception there and log the contents of data_object for analysis. Or if you can make it fail in development use ruby-debug to break into the exception handler.
