First of all, a sincere thanks for the reply and offer of help. Permissions:
The newly created files all had 700 permissions, but the owner of the files matches what you have below (as one would expect). I presumed the file permissions were so restrictive because if used [pfexec] to invoke the [gem install rails --include-depenedencies] command.

After a while I found them and created the symlinks myself, but your solution is global. :-) >> % cd /usr/bin && pfexec ln -s ../ruby/1.8/bin/rails rails && pfexec >> ln -s ../ruby/1.8/bin/rake rake >> >> However, even after this is done, most of the files in [/var/ruby/ >> 1.8/gem_home] seem to have incorrect permissions.

I'll let you know the exact file and folder permissions after I'm done. I'll also try to manually set GEM_HOME to see if that helps.
