Builder and Fileutils confilct

Evening all,

I am having a weird problem when using builder to spit out an RSS feed,
it looks like Builder and FileUtils are conflicting, and I am getting a
“Cannot convert Hash to String” error with the following trace:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:1390:in directory?' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:1390:infu_each_src_dest0’
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:297:in link' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake.rb:812:inlink’
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/welcome/xml.rxml:22:in _run_rxml_welcome_xml' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/welcome/xml.rxml:12:in_run_rxml_welcome_xml’
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/welcome/xml.rxml:11:in _run_rxml_welcome_xml' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/welcome/xml.rxml:6:in_run_rxml_welcome_xml’

/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails:18

Any ideas why this would happen? and even weirder, why it works for a
while, then stops?

I am using Rails 1.1.6

Cheers!

Justin
