Hi All,  
I am calling a controller method to convert a video file. This process  
is called using background\_fu job. When the function tries to create a  
new folder in rails root it gives error i.e. Permission denied. The  
function performs well if not called in background job process.

Can any one point out what can be the trouble.  
Thanks in advance,  
Anubhaw
