Couple of other things: 1) I looked at your question about the 'group' setting for win32ole.so. I changed it's group to 'Users', re-ran the IRB session and got the same error.
2) I had a look at Brett's blog posting - looks like the 'x = Watir::IE.new' format is still supported. If I can get this working I'd be comfortable using that style rather than the new 'Watir::Browser.new' style.
