Kyle,
Looks like you've followed the info at:
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver
Including:
a) Downloading the chrome driver for your OS
b) Installed it in a location on the file system that is in the OS
search path
(e.g. /usr/bin/)
See if /usr/bin is in the PATH used by ruby
puts ENV["PATH"]
I ran into a situation on OSX where it was not.
I set the PATH variable used by Ruby in my script to include /usr/bin
on a line in the script before it started my chrome browser.
